Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) & the Family
Chronic stress of any kind takes a toll on an individual. It also can affect those who care about that individual, including family members. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a particularly difficult form of chronic stress, and it has unique effects on individuals and their loved ones. In order to help these families to cope and thrive, a program has been developed at the Oklahoma City Department of Veterans Affairs to teach families about PTSD and about how to cope with it effectively (Sherman, 2008).
Identify at least two pieces of information in the manual that surprised you regarding the effects of PTSD on families. Describe them fully and explain why they surprised you.
Describe at least two interventions/coping strategies/recommendations identified in the manual that you believe would be most effective for helping families cope well with the effects of PTSD on families.
Explain why you believe those would be effective, based on findings from research on stress that we have read thus far in the course. For example, if one is a cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to help a family member change his or her thinking about the loved one’s diagnosis, you could argue that the intervention would be effective based on research you may be able to find on the effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for relieving stress.
Support your ideas with academic, peer-reviewed sources, such as your readings for the week and/or the sources mentioned in the instructions for this assignment.
Post at least two responses to your classmates. Responses should be substantial and meaningful. Consider responding in a manner that keeps the conversation flowing, such as by asking a question, offering an alternative point of view, or suggesting additional ideas that expand on their ideas. Please remember to cite at least one source (with in-text citations and a full reference) in at least one aside to support your ideas in that aside.

This assignment will assess competencies 1. Examine the motivations, drives, and outcomes of serial killers and 4. Explore the different types of serial killers.
Directions: Throughout our course we will relate our concepts to the Manson case. This is perhaps one of the best known examples of a serial killer in our modern history. If you are not familiar with it, please read the supplement book Helter Skelterand/or research the case online. The Crime Museum is a good place to start.
Last week, we explored “who” Charles Manson was and some of the challenges he faced. This week, expand your research to explore who the Manson Family was, what the membership demographic looked like, who the key members were, and how the family was formed.
Then, in a one to two page essay, address the questions below. Your assignment should be double spaced using 12 point Times New Roman font (black).
Describe who the Manson Family was, the membership demographic, the key members, and how the family was formed.
What do you see as the motivating factors for membership? That is, why did people join?
Did Manson establish control over the members? If so, how?

This course is titled “Understanding Behavior and Family Dynamics.” In order to fully understand these ideas, we must thoroughly understand the definition of family so that we can provide family-centered support. Viewing the child as an integral part of the family helps one develop a more culturally sensitive approach. Everything we do must support the family as a whole in order to be able to advocate for the needs of the children we work with (Supporting Partnerships for Success, n.d.).
To prepare for this discussion,
Examine how the definition of family shared in the video 2010’s American Family Defined is similar or different to the definition of family shared in your course text.
Explain how your definition and understanding of family will enable you to provide family-centered support. Support your thinking with one additional scholarly source.

EXAMPLE FROM PEER BELOW
According to statistics in the video, people tend to think of families in very different ways (Wright, 2010). The video concludes that, a family is a group of people that think of each other as family (Wright, 2010). I agree with this because people who truly care for each other should be considered a family. There are so many different family structures, cultures, and beliefs but the main thing is that they care for each other and do what is best for each other. The text reveals that there are different ways that people define families, just as the video stated (Wardle and Fitzpatrick, 2016). Some believe that there has to be two parents that are related to the children they are raising, while others disagree (Wardle and Fitzpatrick, 2016). However, the text goes into more depth by saying that families are a group of people that care for basic needs of children (Wardle and Fitzpatrick, 2016). Similar to the video, families are a group of people who take care of each other and care for each other. Overall, the video and text agree but the text gives more detail and depth to the definition of family.
To me, family is one or two adults who care for a child or children. The children may or may not be biological but are still their children because they love and value them. Some people cannot have children of their own so adoption or foster-care could help them build a family. I believe that love should be at the center of a healthy family and that the parents should always do what is best for their children. This teaches children how to be kind and responsible adults who will likely have a family of their own one day.
To me, providing family-centered support means advocating for families and educating families (Guiding principles of family support programs, n.d.). It means that I help support families who are struggling by finding resources for them. It also means that I am aware of what families may need and am willing to find answers to their questions or concerns. I also need to keep myself up to date on new resources and opportunities so I can share them with families (Guiding principles of family support programs, n.d.). Sometimes families are not very willing to express need, so I need to remember to respect that and just show them that I care so they feel safe talking to me. Families need to be able to trust me as their child’s caregiver so I need to build that trust over time.
It is important to take parent feedback seriously and ask for their input regularly (Russo, 2019). When parents express a concern it means they are seeking help and understanding. I need to remember that all families struggle at times so listening is important. I also need to share resources with families that they could benefit from as well as find ways to involve them and their children in center activities to strengthen their family bond (Russo, 2019). I need to remember to share resources with families but also get them involved in the classroom. Every family should feel comfortable and valued in their child’s classroom. One way that I like to do this is ask for family pictures and make them into a book for children to look at throughout the day. I also make sure to greet each parent and child as the come into the classroom.
