Answer 1

Hello!

I'm going to address your question one after the other;

Issues that may require crisis intervention.

Generally as also seen in my college I can tell that many students encounter many issues that needs to be addressed and also at this stage not many students are comfortable taking about it ,maybe they feel like people won't understand them,and also with all the academic pressure students cam go through many emotions at once in this age and they are confused I've seen many students feel quiet comfortable having a counsellor in the college it makes it a little easy for them. There are a lot of emotions and issues that teens or to specify here college students go through I've listed down the ones I know;

*Immigrant depression

*Teen pregnancy

*Relationship issues(abusive or confusing)

*Cultural shock

*Past issues

*Friendship issues

*Financial

*Academic pressure

*Anxiety

*Depression

*Post Traumatic stress disorder

*suicide

*self harm

*substance abuse

*Betrayal

*Family or Parental issues

*Fear of failure

*Jealousy

*Homeless

*Trust issues

*very into the self

*Alcohol abuse

*Eating disorders

*weight related issues (mostly obesity and Anorexia)

The above are a few I'm aware of .

MENTAL HEALTH IN COMMUNITY COUNSELLING;

Unlike individual counselling I want to tell you that community counselling is a bit different yet similar here it is mostly a group of people who could be affected from something similar like soldiers from a war who are affected post war or mentally prepare them before a war ,people affected by natural calamities ,marriage counselling that requires counselling ,work place counselling .

INTERNET COUNSELLING; I'm personally all for internet counselling ,it is safe for those who do not want to directly get in touch with a counsellor or do not want to reveal mich about themselves and wants to keep every thing under wrap. This is done all online sometimes you can also connect directly with a hospital and the concerned person.

MANAGED CARE;

Basically managed care stands for the various ways or methods in which the cost of mental health treatments coats are reduced or already try to reduce the costs .As I know it also provides solutions to the selected problems.

Thankyou! Hope this helps.
