Treatment Project
You have recently explored the complexities of combat trauma, including the difficulty with self-identification, complicated diagnostic processes, options for treatment, and the potential barriers to treatment, among other important areas of concern. Reflecting on information from the course related to the psychological trauma of combat and the treatment options available complete the following assignment. Ensure the plan presented is based upon evidenced based practices established in the field as effective in addressing psychological needs in disaster settings.
Instructions:
- Develop a PowerPoint presentation targeted toward combat service members and veterans who are seeking information about treatment options. Drawing on the information learned throughout the course, draft your PPT to present an appropriate treatment option to both the active service member and the combat veteran.
In developing your work, be sure to rely upon academic, scholarly sources to support the definitions and recommendations provided. Scholarly sources should be cited both in-text (speakers notes) and on the reference page of the submission. A minimum of six academic, scholarly sources are required to be cited in the work, 4 of which must be peer-reviewed journal articles. Course materials may not be used.
Work should be submitted in a PowerPoint file and be 10 to 15 slides in length, excluding the required title slide and separate reference slide. You should ensure your PPT meets the following criteria in addition to covering the topics above:
- The slides should contain mostly bullet point data related to the requirements expected in the instructions above.
- Information on slides (including the reference slide) should be easily readable with an appropriate font size (do not cram all the information onto one slide and shrink the font).
- Formatting should be consistent throughout the submission, this includes font, bullets, spacing, alignment, pictures, etc.
- A background appropriate to the topic should be used on all slides and the background should be appropriate for the font (style, size, color, etc.), bullets, and graphics you have chosen.
- Pictures and graphics (appropriate to the overall topic and the slide itself) should be included throughout the submission to keep the presentation interesting and add an additional dimension to the presentation, a good rule is a picture every other slide at least.
- A title slide should be included with the same information that would be found on an APA formatted paper cover sheet.
- All detailed explanations should be in the speakers notes only. Use of comments or any other method of adding additional information is not allowed.
- Detailed speaker notes should accompany each slide with in-text citations. Your speakers notes should equal at least a 5-6 page APA formatted paper to ensure you have covered the topic thoroughly.
Submissions should be formatted per APA standards. For assistance and resources on APA formatting style, contact the APUS library and/or the APUS writing center. Be sure to review the rubric and the announcements before beginning and submitting your assignment.
