Hello,
I have a paper that is an annotated outline of a practice application paper. My focus is on the gut biome and the impact it has on mental health and the application. I really want to put in play is creating an educational training that can help better teach social workers, and other clinicians the impacts of being aware of gut, biome access and bio psychosocial model when trying to help improve, which ultimately will help improve mental health. I need you to go through this paper and make sure everything looks clean and cut and please check any errors. Do not touch the journal section. So don’t go anything past Page 14. Can you please make it stronger so that it’s easier for me to write my paper, but also still keep it in the form out of outline. I will attach the rubric because I also need to make sure I’ve hit everything in the rubric..
This is the framework to make my paper great! Please have it meet all the requirements.
You do not have to add more resources or citations but if you do please go for as much as you want.

Ella Schultzwas the case study we have been working on.
APPLICATION OF THE PROBLEM-SOLVING MODEL AND THEORETICAL ORIENTATION TO A CASE STUDY, PART 1
The problem-solving model was first laid out by Helen Perlman. Her seminal 1957 book, Social Casework: A Problem-Solving Process, described the problem-solving model and the 4Ps. Since then, other scholars and practitioners have expanded the problem-solving model and problem-solving therapy. At the heart of problem-solving model and problem-solving therapy is helping clients identify the problem and the goal, generating options, evaluating the options, and then implementing the plan.
Because models are blueprints and are not necessarily theories, it is common to use a model and then identify a theory to drive the conceptualization of the client’s problem, assessment, and interventions. Take, for example, the article by Westefeld and Heckman-Stone (2003). Note how the authors use a problem-solving model as the blueprint in identifying the steps when working with clients who have experienced sexual assault. On top of the problem-solving model, the authors employed crisis theory, as this theory applies to the trauma of going through sexual assault. Observe how, starting on page 229, the authors incorporated crisis theory to their problem-solving model.
In this Final Case Assignment, using the same case study you chose in Week 2, you will use the problem-solving model AND a theory from the host of different theoretical orientations you have used for the case study.
You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 11–12 slides, and you will use the Personal Capture function of Kaltura to record both audio and video of yourself presenting your PowerPoint presentation.
TO PREPARE
Review and focus on the case study that you chose in Week 2.
Use the Analysis of a Theory worksheet to help you dissect the theory. Use this tool to dissect the theory, employ the information in the table to complete your Assignment, and then keep it to add to your Theories Study Guide in Week 11.
Review the problem-solving model, focusing on the five steps of the problem-solving model formulated by D’Zurilla on page 388 in the textbook.
In addition, review this article listed in the Learning Resources: Westefeld, J. S., & Heckman-Stone, C. (2003). The integrated problem-solving model of crisis intervention: Overview and application. The Counseling Psychologist, 31(2), 221–239. https://doi.org/10.1177/0011000002250638
Submit a PowerPoint presentation using the Personal Capture feature of the Kaltura media feature in the online classroom. Record yourself giving the audio-visual presentation much like you would in a case presentation or other public setting. The presentation should include 11–12 slides.
The writing on each slide should use bullet points, meaning no long paragraphs of written text should be in the slides.
The recording takes the place of fully written paragraphs, while the bullet points provide context and cues for the audience to follow along.
Be sure to review the Kaltura Personal Capture—QuickStart Guide item in the Learning Resources.
Your presentation should address the following:
Identify the theoretical orientation you have selected to use.
Describe how you would assess the problem orientation of the client in your selected case study (i.e., how the client perceives the problem). Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind in this assessment stage.
Discuss the problem definition and formulation based on the theoretical orientation you have selected.
Identify and describe two solutions from all the solutions possible. Remember, some of these solutions should stem from the theoretical orientation you are utilizing.
Describe how you would implement the solution. Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind.
Describe the extent to which the client is able to mobilize the solutions for change.
Discuss how you would evaluate whether the outcome is achieved or not. Remember to keep the theoretical orientation in mind.
Explain how well the problem-solving model can be used for short-term treatment of this client.
Describe one merit and one limitation of using the problem-solving model for this case.
Be sure to:
Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.
Use literature to support your claims.
Use APA formatting and style.
Include the reference list on the last slide.
Speak clearly.
Dress professionally.

Writing at the graduate level poses some new challenges to what you might be accustomed to in your undergraduate studies. For one thing, you are expected to know how to conduct research and find peer-reviewed, credible sources on your own while also being able to craft sophisticated, well balanced pieces of writing of a variety of genres.

Directions: Using Hepworth Chapter 5 as a reference, read the posted case scenarios in this module. Write a one- to two-sentence response to each of the 10 scenarios. Your responses are to be quotes of what you would actually say to convey empathy and authenticity to the clients’ situations. Submit these typed responses with each response numbered to provide the reader with a link to the original scenario.
Write responses you might say to each client in a word document, carefully labeled with each case number and client name. Be sure to write higher level empathy responses which convey authentic interest in helping the client with their presenting concern. 
Cindy is a 14 y.o. female whose step father kicked her out of the house last night. Her mother did not stick up for her when he accused Cindy of stealing cash.

You are conducting his intake as a counselor for the employee assistance program.
Carl is a 10 y.o. who has been bullied by other students on the bus to school. The mistreatment ranged from verbal teasing to items taken from his backpack and tripping him when he attempts to get off of the bus.  His teacher alerts you, the school social worker, to the fact that almost every day as he arrives at school he needs to sit in the nurse’s office until he feels ready to go to his classroom.
Carol is a 28 y.o. whose spouse has been yelling and shouting at her when the spouse drinks too much alcohol (every Friday and Saturday night for the last 5 months).

Their visits and calls to him are less frequent than he would prefer. You are a medical social worker at a health clinic where Calvin goes for his medical care. His physician noticed a change in his affect and suggested that he talk with you. He explains his recent history to you in this brief meeting.
Anna is a 30 y.o. in a same-sex relationship with a partner who has recently come out to their family. When she visit with her partner’s family, she is not included in family photos or discussions.

Taylor is  a 14 y.o. high school student referred for counseling for cutting (self injury). Her parents yelled at her when they found out and threatened to send her to boarding school if she doesn’t stop with “the dramatics”.  You are a social worker at her high school and meet with her after she was found ditching class and isolating herself in a library study room.

You need to describe what this project is. Then what is your research question and your purpose and thesis. You need to write arguments. And finally your own opinion.
