Chapter 6 – Case 1

Goal: To analyze and apply critical thinking skills in the psychopathology of mental health patients and provide treatment and health promotion while applying evidence-based research.

Chapter 6, Case 1Trisha is a 28-year-old, unemployed white female. She is no stranger to therapy, having seen counselors for most of her teen and adult years. Her friends would describe her as a “wild woman” who takes no crap from anyone. She has held various part-time jobs for the last few years because she usually gets angry at her boss or coworkers and quits. While she has had a string of boyfriends over the years, she has been seeing one man for the last year or so. He too is unemployed and has both an alcohol and methamphetamine problem. She describes the relationship as “addictive and dysfunctional, yet exciting and hot.” Trisha is back in treatment at the urging of her parents, who describe her behavior as erratic and unpredictable. They also claim that she has periods where she “sleeps little and parties lots.” There were also several occasions in the last five years when she was so depressed she didn’t eat or want to leave the house. Her father also admits to periods of depression, and Trisha’s grandfather was diagnosed with manic depression, resulting in numerous hospitalizations in the 1950s and 1960s. Trisha’s only brother died in a car accident several years ago. He was drunk at the time, but she claims he had a long history of depression. Recently Trisha was arrested for disorderly conduct at a friend’s party. She had not slept for nearly 24 hours and was drunk and combative. When she was first approached by police, she solicited them for sex. They report that she was rather hyperverbal and hyperactive. They later had to investigate a complaint from local storeowners for bad checks she wrote in excess of $7,000.

Dealing with “Slackers” Reflection

Read HR Ethics: Working with Slackers Hurts Motivation in the textbook (p. 169).

The book name: Textbook: Human Resource Management by Mathis, Jackson, Valentine, & Meglich, 15th ed.

Slacking is a common problem in businesses. HR must train employees to deal successfully with slackers by confronting them. Given these issues, think about some of the “slackers” with whom you have interacted over the last several years when working on job-related and college-based projects. Consider what the specific problems were, what your initial reactions were, and what you did to resolve these problems.

Using the questions in the HR ethics box as a guide (i.e., 1. how did you identify the incidences of slacking, 2. how did you report the slacking, assuming you did report it, and 3. how would you prevent slacking in the future?), write a reflection on your experiences with slackers at work and/or at school, providing in-depth details about your experiences, decision making, and actions. The report should be approximately 2 single-spaced pages (12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins; page count does not include title page and bibliography). The file submitted should be in Microsoft Word format.

Resource Development

There are 2 parts to this assignment

Each Part must be at least one page.

Part 1- Funding Sources

The most successful fundraisers are good prospect researchers. This means they use existing online and print resources to identify which funding sources (specific individuals, foundations, government sources, etc.) are most likely to fund the organization/project based on past giving, mission, priorities, and geographic giving area.

To prepare:

  • Consider a nonprofit organization for which you work or with which you are familiar.
  • Analyze 2–3 potential funding sources for this organization.

The organization for this assignment is NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health)

https://www.nami.org/Home

Part 1- Must at least be 1 page and include:

  • A description of 2–3 potential missed funding opportunities. Explain why they are or might be missed.
  • Describe potential funding sources and explain why they are appropriate for your organization.
  • Analyze the strengths and limitations of each funding source.

  • Analyze potential prospective foundations that might support this organization.

The organization for this assignment is NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health)
