Crisis Care Case Study

God loves his Church and Jesus is the one who builds the Church. Then, it goes without saying that God loves the local church and Jesus builds the local church. Unfortunately, there are many factors that come into play, causing churches to become complacent or stagnate before entering into a season of decline. Yet this can be avoided through the process of revitalization.

I agree that it is necessary for pastors to get a greater education to help them to understand how to deal with life situations. Their Church members will need them to understand what they are dealing with. True knowledge works well for the Pastors in different types of communities

(189) If congregants give negative feedback about a preacher/speaker's teaching/preaching is because they did not understand the sermon or the sermon was long with no substance. Anderson proclaims that the pastor is a steward over the people salvation and do not stand between their relationship with them and God. However, he/she corrects and lead/prepare them for the coming Christ. (204) Preparing the congregants about the coming of Christ is not to teach/preach about self-righteous doctrines. The doctrine of self is not the way, the truth and the life. Anderson also states after a church has been spiritual abused, they can recover through reconciliation. (212) For this to happen, the pastor needs to come forth and admitt his selfishness, and arrogance and apologize to the church and to the ones that left so that healing can begin, and the people will not walk around harboring bitterness and regret.

Ms. Okoro has displayed her ability to identify, analyze issues and proactively solve problems by active involvement by either effectively contributing as a member or a leader in many initiatives with a departmental and/ or hospital-wide impact. This has been evidenced by the following:

Often, pastors think within the four walls of the church, and rightfully so, when they look at their ministry. However, getting involved in community events, i.e., city commission meetings, business leaders, local stores, and business, etc., are important to change the culture around the church.

In order to explore how a crisis worker would approach, assess, and treat a crisis situation, this paper will focus on the story of Melody, the victim of a brutal rape. Melody Swanson is a 50 year old, divorced teacher who has been living alone since her children went to college two months ago. Melody came home from a short vacation to the casino and was met in her driveway by an armed man in his twenties. She was abducted at gunpoint, beaten, raped, robbed, and left abandoned several miles from her home. Melody was able to find help and was

Crisis workers take on many different roles on a daily basis. Crisis workers also come in many different career fields; they are law enforcement officers, therapists, doctors, hospital staff, and many other careers. The responsibility of each individual is broken down into several additional roles. Similar to law enforcement, a crisis worker’s job is always to protect and serve the public.

In reading Richard Lischer’s book I find many examples of pastors, who came to a new church assignment fresh out of graduate school. To a place where they didn’t know anyone which is to be expected. What was good pastoral behavior, they were trying one to make a good impression, not coming in with a chip on their shoulder or trying to come across like it was dictated. Just as a foot note I have seen this today so, many times in my own denomination, so the fact that they came in trying to establish their willingness to get along is excellent pastoral art. It also appeared that a few of them were not impressed with the churches they were called to, and the parsonage that they were given to live in, I think that it was excellent pastoring to not

Pastors is organ as Shepherd. They watched over their flocks and the flock know their Shepherd’s voice. (John 10:27, KJV)

In the 1940s, Gerald Caplan and Eric Lindemann, established the first ABC Model of Crisis Intervention... For this purpose, the crisis intervention method, is conducted as ephemeral, mental health interview with clients, whose functioning level has declined, as a result of a major life influential event. The ABC model is a problem-solving methodology, that is very effective if applied within four to six weeks of the stressor. The primary purpose of this approach is recognizing the cognizance of the client, as they correlate to the precipitating event, and then, help them to reduce irrepressible emotions (Kanel, 2015).

Mental Health Paraprofessionals (MHPP) will work with the client and family on behavioral issues that occur in the home, school, and community. The MHPP serves on the treatment team and assists professional staff with the execution of the treatment plan. They also assist with securing community services that might be available to the client and the client's family. The purpose of intensive Mental Health Paraprofessional Intervention is to enable the client to be maintained in the most normalized, least restrictive setting as possible, and to prevent unnecessary, inappropriate institutionalization. This paper discusses an overview paraprofessionals, the impact the paraprofessionals have on the

The scriptures states that it is blessed to go to a house of a funeral, and so a good shepherd would really want to show his love for his loved ones, by being part of the grieving for a family that lost a loved one. This also fulfills the scripture “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” (Romans 12:15, NIV) On the other hand, a good pastor who is counselling a couple that is exploring a relationship to getting married, would need words of wisdom. The scripture mentions the sheep to recognize the voice of a shepherd which is in John 10:27 as “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” And that happens only, when the relationship between the pastor and his or her congregants is of full trust, obedience, and knowledge. If a pastor does not know who his or her congregants is, especially, by name, then it is hard for the congregants to claim a mutual relationship. On another note, the birth of a child leads to his or her baptism in a church. Welcoming the new baby in the family of God, and nurturing him or her with the word of God, is the primary duty of a pastor. This is mentioned in the Old Testament to instruct a child, and is stated as “Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22: 6, ASB

Here is the final version of the crisis management strategy report which was commissioned by yourself on Monday 5 May 2014.

I have discovered this phenomenon occurring in churches as well, with the emphasis in recent decades moving from the message of God to the feelings of the congregation.

This case study is about a couple, Mike and Sally that have recently lost their 6-year-old son to cancer. They have decided to get counseling because Mike is unsure how to help Sally, she is having a difficult time coping with this loss, she cannot register how a child can die before a parent. Mike is handling this loss differently, he feels like this is the life cycle, and doesn’t quite know what to do to help Sally. When speaking to this couple I would start with the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention which will help Sally and Mike get comfortable with speaking to me. “The ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is a method of conducting very brief mental-health interviews with clients whose functioning level has decreased following a psychosocial stressor” (Kanel,2015). There are three stages in the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention. Stage one in the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention is to develop and maintain rapport between the counselor and client. This means that the counselor does what they can to help the client feel at ease, some ways to do this are making eye contact, showing warmth, compassion and empathy to allow the client to feel that they are safe and can talk to the professional openly. When the clients feel more comfortable it makes it a safe place for them to talk about the issues they may be having at home. Establishing a good relationship with the client must consist of being supportive and not being judgmental. Once this goal is achieved we will be able to move
