Walden University Virginia Tech Shooting Discussion Discussion

 

 

Read the article, “Collaborative vs. Adversarial: Relationship Between the State and Civil Society in Facing Public Disaster: The Case of Hong Kong in the SARS Crisis,” focusing on specific intervention strategies that might be used to address public health crises.

Select and then reflect on one systemic crisis (e.g., school-based, crisis/hostage situation, natural or human-made disaster, public health) that has directly affected your community. Consider which crisis intervention strategies you might have used if you had acted as a human services professional during this crisis.

 

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a brief description of a systemic crisis (e.g., school-based, crisis/hostage situation, natural or human-made disaster, public health) that has affected your community.* Then with the knowledge that you have gained this week, explain at least two crisis intervention strategies you might apply to this particular crisis and why. Be specific.

*If your community has not been affected by a systemic crisis, select a community with which you are familiar that has experienced such a crisis to use for this Discussion. Do not select communities affected by Hurricane Katrina or other such widely publicized systemic crises.
