The Summative Assessment for this course will involve the application of professional presentation skills in preparing a Power Point presentation and a narrative summary that might be used in an oral presentation related to communication in the human services field. This Final Project will focus on one group in need that is served by human service professionals, taking into account all of the learning outcomes identified throughout the course. Note: The Final Project requires the submission of both the Power Point presentation and the narrative summary.

Imagine that you are a human service professional interviewing clients from a particular group and select one of the following groups:

In addition to your Power Point presentation, prepare a four- to six-page narrative summary (excluding title and reference pages) that further explains your selected methods. Use the Week 5 Assignment template as a guide for formatting. Specifically, your summary will

• Describe your selected communication theories as applied to the health and human services setting, including your reasoning for selecting them, as well as benefits and limitations of their use when working with your selected group.
• Identify active listening skills you might use in interpersonal (e.g., one-on-one interactions) and group (e.g., group sessions) settings within the workplace.

Almost every part of the world has experienced the impact of a crisis or disaster, whether natural or man-made. Because of the breadth and number of crises/disasters over the past decade, scholarly research has increasingly tried to identify empirically supported interventions and evidence-based practices. Recent crisis research provides more appropriate intervention models than older models such as the Critical Incident Stress Management model (CISM). One model is the Hybrid Model of Crisis Intervention, which understands that a crisis can need both a linear progression and also tasks that need to be accomodated.

The Hybrid Model of Crisis Intervention provides an uncomplicated approach for listening and acting on clients’ behalf and includes both directive and non-directive interventions. This Hybrid Model has implications for Maslow’s hierarchy of needs; it provides for a different type of intervention as opposed to typical counseling or psychotherapy. Maslow’s initial level of hierarchical needs describes physiological needs. These physiological needs are the starting point for counselors’ crisis intervention.

To prepare for this assignment:

• Review Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, paying particular attention to the Hybrid Model of Crisis Intervention and the Triage Assessment Form: Crisis Intervention.
• Review Chapter 5 in your course text, Crisis Intervention Strategies, and think about the differences between clinical, long- or short-term therapy, and crisis case handling. Consider skills you have that fit both.
• Review the media , “During a Crisis-Counselor Interventions and Strategies” in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Review the articles, “Basic Need Status and Health-Promoting Behavior in Adults” and “The Hierarchy of Needs and Care Planning in Addiction Services: What Maslow Can Tell Us About Addressing Competing Priorities?” and think about the needs of the populations you are serving and how those needs can be met using the Hybrid Model of Crisis Intervention.
• Review the Hybrid Model of Crisis Intervention and apply its steps in order to the Case Study provided in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Think about Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and consider ways it applies to the Six-Step Model.

The assignment: (3-4 pages)

• Provide an analysis of the crisis depicted in the Case Study in this week’s Learning Resources.
• Explain how you would apply the Hybrid Model to the crisis in the Case Study.
• Integrate Maslow’s model into your evaluation and explain how you did so.

Assume that you have been asked to prepare a visual presentation for the recruitment panel for the position of chief resilience officer in your community. 

First, you will want to locate and review your community’s hazard mitigation plan. If your local jurisdiction does not have a hazard mitigation plan published online, utilize the county-level or parish-level plan, or use the hazard mitigation plan of a nearby jurisdiction. 

Next, create a PowerPoint presentation that shares key points of your evaluation of your community’s hazard mitigation plan. You are not limited to any particular approach but you might (a) compare the local plan to the checklist in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) hazard mitigation plan review guide, (b) choose a couple of the elements in the review guide checklist for an in-depth evaluation, (c) evaluate the hazard mitigation plan against best practices or the course textbook, or (d) focus on priority hazard mitigation actions that you would take if you are appointed as the chief resilience officer. 

Your presentation must include an assessment of the plan’s strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. Support your presentation with one academic reference. 

Your PowerPoint presentation should include speaker notes to support the key concepts on each of the visuals. Include a minimum of three visuals in your presentation. The speaker notes area is where most of the text should exist, and the visual area is where you should provide photos, graphs, screenshots, and other visually interesting information to keep the panel’s attention. Ensure the notes on the title slide will provide a few sentences to frame your approach. 

Your PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of eight slides in length, not counting the title or reference slides. The presentation must follow APA format.
