2. Whats your possible answer to your working EQ?

EQ: Is it more difficult for a counsuler and parents to come to agreements with a teen who suffers from psychological problems since they always want to be right?
-Yes, because a teen is developing he/her mind.
-They are discovering what life is all on their own which causes them to feel right all the time since they are starting to take control of the road in their life.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

The most important source I have used that has helped me come up with my answer to my working EQ is the book Psychology Made Simple by Alison Thomas-Cottinggham.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Michelle.  I am doing my mentorship at TriCity Mental Wellness Center. It relates to my working EQ because in this center they deal with young adults and counseling.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

What is it?

My independent component will be 30 more hours at Tri-City. This will help me get used to the feel of being around people that are mentally ill or just need to get stuff out of their minds. I will also be around my mentor a lot more and other people that had credentials in psychology to get more knowledge in this field.
