Independent Component 2

I, Anahi Gamboa, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.  For thirty hours, I did research on child abuse treatments. I read personal stories about it, I had a conversation with someone that was abused when they were young and I read different books.

My independent component helped me have a better understanding for what child abuse treatments really entail. This independent component helped me understand that treatment is very important for children to recover, but other things are important too. Things such as the child's comfort, the child's interest, and their feelings at the moment.

The 'product' of this independent component was some of what I said earlier, I got a more detailed understanding of what things should be involved in the therapy for the child to have a good end result. I also learned that the type of therapy that the child goes through has a lot to do with the end result.

Independent Component 2 Approval

1. This independent component I plan on doing something that helps me work hands on with the types of therapy. I am still not sure exactly what to do, but I would like to work with some kids, or have therapy myself and go to my own therapy sessions and have the therapist use the different types of treatments on me.

2. I would go several times to treatments and count the time that I was in a therapy session. I would make sure that they add up to 30 hours.

3. In my EQ, I have to answer with different types of treatment. "What is the best way to treat an abused child?" Even though I haven't been abused, I think that I have been through other things and going to therapy and experiencing treatments first hand would give me a better understanding of the different types of treatment.

Independent Component 1

Literal: 
a) I, Anahi Gamboa, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
b) I worked in the same place that I am doing my service learning, doing the same things that I do for service learning.

Interpretive: 
I would do paperwork, filing client paperwork, inputing things on the computer, fixing the Play Therapy room (everything has a specific place), and once in a while i would help them clean the office.

Applied: 
I worked at a counseling center, there they have different types of therapies that they do and, some of the counselors would talk to me about the types of therapy that they use and the ones that they think are best for them.

Independent Component 1 Plan Approval

1) For my independent component, I plan on working with someone I know who is starting a therapy and healing group for teens due to things that happened in their childhoods and I am thinking about helping her with that.

2) I think that this plan will meet the 30 hour minimum requirement because the class is scheduled to be from 6-8pm every Monday, maybe even more. With the classes themselves I get at least two hours per week but then we would still have to make the plans for what is going to happen and that is another two hours roughly. That would be at least four hours weekly, in eight weeks I should be done!

3) My EQ is: what is the best way to treat a child that has been abused? Therapy groups are one way of treating abuse. With this as my independent component, I will see and have a first-hand view on what a group therapy is like and in the end I will know if it works or not.
