Social Issue and Human Developmental Project (20 pts)

Each student will complete an individual or group project (groups are limited to 3 people). The project will be related to a CURRENT social/developmental issue that affects individuals whom you might be counselling. Consult with instructor if you need help determining your topic. If you decide to work in groups, talk to your chosen classmates and decide on a COMMON social/developmental issue, work together by discussing the issue, providing detail background of the issue and present. This project should be in presentation form. This project is an opportunity for you to shed light on a current pressing social/developmental issue and ways that you can advocate and assist.

Students should connect the social issue to concepts of human development theories and to counselling theories/techniques that may be useful in conceptualizing and helping clients with your chosen issue.

Include:

• Be creative in the way that you explain the issue (perhaps you want to include a short case study or include a particular video link to further illustrate your points discussed in the paper/ presentation.
• The presentation should have enough slides to cover all relevant material.
• APA format (Title slide, reference list) using the latest edition.
• Should include at least 3 peer reviewed journal articles or professional sources not including the textbook to provide support for your information/claims.
• If you work in groups, upload ONE presentation (for all group members) with all names listed. The resulting grade will be the grade that EVERYONE receives therefore, make sure that you all are satisfied with the end product and that considerable detail is given and what is included.

What I am looking for in a well-developed presentation.

• What is the social/developmental issue? Background? How does it affect people/clients? What problems are occurring to this particular population? Give detail and include professional sources to support.
• What human development theories pertain to understanding this issue? Why?
• What counseling theory(s) may help explain/help clients dealing with these issues work through them?
• Explain any multicultural/ethical considerations for counselors to consider when working on the chosen issue.
• What are some advocacy strategies that you (or your group) will use to help clients who are experiencing these social/developmental issue(s)?
• What counseling techniques will you the therapist utilize in session in order to help your client in session (techniques, empathy, referrals etc) through these issues (keep human growth/development in mind)?
• Why is it important for other counselors to know about this chosen social/developmental issue/problem?
