Mapping Crisis Clarice P Fels Walden University SW6060: Social Work Theory and Clinical Practice Dr. Elese Fullmer March 31 st , 2024 An event that interferes with a person’s normal functioning may create psychological or physical anguish. According to Petrakis ’ case study of feeling overwhelmed , and depressed and feeling like she has no one to talk to. Resilience Theory seeks to explain how a person can

2 bounce back from a disaster and even improve their performance. (Turner, 2017) In order for people to bounce back from difficult circumstances and maintain their health, crisis theory and resilience theory are essential. Triggering Event: Events in Helen’s life that lead to this crisis moment are feelings of being alone, having no one to support her emotionally or physically.

Helen also benefits from having both a close-knit Greek Orthodox family as well as a supportive Greek community, both of which are significant sources of strength and resilience. Ensure that the intervention encourages a resilient response.
