PSY 108 Module Three Activity TemplateIn the Module Three Activity Guidelines and Rubric, review the Prompt and Supporting Materials sections. Then answer the following questions. Complete this template by replacing the bracketed text with the relevant information.1.Is your goal to work in a helping profession or do you work in a helping profession now? Describe why your goal profession or current professionis meaningful to you. Your response should be a minimum of 1 to 3 sentences.My goal is to find a profession where i will be able to help children affected by mental health issues as well as children who have grown up with parents who are suffering from addiction.Growing up as a child I unfortunately went through both of those things and grew up with familymembers telling me I was just being a drama queen. I would like to be there to help the childrenthat really need help, in the state of NH children's mental health services are ridiculously hard tofind, and the only hospital equipped to take minors suffering from breakdowns is in Hamstead NH. There needs to be more available help available that accepts state insurance.2.One of your programmatic course themes is self-care. Which of the strategies for self-carefrom the article Recognizing Compassion Fatigue in the Helping Professionsare most relevant to you now as a student or working professional? Your response should be a minimum of 1 to 3 sentences.The most relevant self-care strategies I have found is the line” If you love what you do, take careof yourself. If you take care of yourself, it is likely you will continue to love what you do..” I feel like this would apply to many students who might be scared about their future choice of employment. It also has been a saying that I have heard my whole life, as no one wants to stick with an unhappy career.3.One of your programmatic course themes is emotional intelligence. How do you currently apply emotional intelligence skillsas a student or working professional? How can it be useful for you to explore strategies for EI as this course (or the program, if you are a Psychology major) continues? Your response should be a minimum of 1 to 3 sentences.I currently apply my emotional intelligence skills as a student by ending by being able to tell when I need to walk away and take a breather rather than get upset if I am confused about something school related.1
