There are significant differences in the applications of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for families and individuals. The same is true for CBT in group settings and CBT in family settings. In your role, it is essential to understand these differences to appropriately apply this therapeutic approach across multiple settings. For this Discussion, as you compare the use of CBT in individual, group, and family settings, consider challenges of using this approach with groups you may lead, as well as strategies for overcoming those challenges.

To prepare:

• Review the videos in this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights provided on CBT in various settings. 

Post an explanation of how the use of CBT in groups compares to its use in family or individual settings. Explain at least two challenges PMHNPs might encounter when using CBT in one of these settings. Support your response with specific examples from this week’s media and at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources. Explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly and attach the PDFs of your sources.

TOPIC- California Assembly Bill AB-32 Strengthening Telehealth During the Pandemic

THIS IS A GROUP ASSIGNMENT SO ONLY 3 SLIDES ARE NEEDED:

Slide 8 Outline of Lobbying Remarks

Slide 9 Target Audience

Slide 10 Bill’s Intent

(An outline of lobbying remarks, appropriate for the target audience, bill’s intent, and goal of supporting or not supporting its passage)

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment.

As an advanced registered nurse leader, you have an opportunity to be a catalyst for change and lend your voice to important health care issues. One of the ways you can do this is through lobbying and engaging with the legislative process as both participant and patient advocate.

In this assignment, you will work in a group to identify a current health care legislative issue and prepare a PowerPoint presentation with slide notes. This health care issue can impact your role, the setting, the scope of practice, or the population in the community you serve. Refer to the website of your state legislature to research current legislative issues and identify appropriate steps.

Include the following in a 12-15 slide PowerPoint submission:

1. A description of the health care issue, and how it relates to your role, setting, scope of practice, or community population.
2. A description of the proposed legislation and your group’s stance on whether it should be passed.
3. Methods to track a bill and participate in lobbying efforts.
4. An outline of lobbying remarks, appropriate for the target audience, bill’s intent, and goal of supporting or not supporting its passage.
5. Implications if lobbying efforts do not succeed.

Make sure to include slide notes of 100-250 words for each slide.
