Assignment 2
This week you are to research and compille an in-depth list of community mental health service delivery options available in your community for your target population. For example if you will be working in the schools, look for options that serve children and teens, if you plan to work with adults, look for options that serve primarily adults.
What you need to find out about each of the places you find is: populations they serve, the treatment delivery options (inpatient, outpatient, partial treatment, home intervention, aftercare etc.), is there someone on staff who can prescribe and monitor medications, what is required for a first visit, payment options available, and how long is the wait to see a licensed mental health clinician?
Once you have your list compiled, write an informed critique of the service available in your community (2 pages double spaced maximum). Give examples of populations served, undeserved, or not served at all. This critique should be based on factual information as well as your opinion. Use sources to back up what you are saying when appropriate.

Assignment 4
Bill suffers from auditory hallucinations (he hears voices telling him to kill). If he tries very hard, he can keep the voices from being loud enough to influence him, but it is tiring to do so. One day, Bill was too worn out to stop the voices. He listened to them, picked up a gun, and shot a complete stranger on the sidewalk.
Do you think Bill's actions were done out of free will. Should he be held personally responsible for his actions? Is Bill a product of biological or psychological forces outside his control?
Take a position, explain your reasoning and describe which of the multi-path areas explains the behavior best.
