Continuous safe water monitoring using 3G telemetry in IDP camp water supply systems: Iraq trial

Water quality monitoring for disinfection using chlorine in humanitarian settings is predominantly measured through low-resolution manual sampling and analysis methods, that is subject to human error, as well as being highly dependent on accessibility of sites, capacity and availability of human resources. The Chloroclam, a small high-resolution chlorine analyser that transmits continuous real-time data through a 2G/3G mobile network, was trialled over a 7-month period in an IDP camp in Northern Iraq to determine its functionality and ease of use in a crisis context. The results validated the data produced by the Chloroclam, with datasets highlighting significant seasonal and diurnal variances in chlorine concentrations and noting that manual sampling was not representative of the functionality of the water supply system. The data was able to suggest adjustments to dosing regimes to ensure sufficient levels of chlorine is available throughout collection periods and across the year

The Use of Active Group Interventions with Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury

Counselors are continually challenged to become more knowledgeable and skilled in assisting persons with disabilities. This article describes group work with persons with Traumatic Brain Injury. Active group interventions were utilized to modify cognitive, affective, and behavioral deficits that affect independent living, vocational adjustment, and interpersonal relationships. The knowledge, skills, and training needed by group counselors in order to use active interventions are identified. The active interventions are discussed in the context of group developmental stages, and key therapeutic factors are illuminated. The experience demonstrated that active group interventions may have potential for persons whose mobility and movement in life have been blocked

Teaching a Doctoral Course in Consultation: The Parallel Team Process

A parallel team model of teaching consultation is presented. The model highlights experiential group counseling theory, techniques, and Yalom’s (1995) identified group therapeutic factors. The goal was to increase the students’ awareness and knowledge of consultation skills and teamwork in order to model and teach the same skills. The parallel interaction between the consultant and consultee teams is illustrated during the consultation stages of entry, problem/strength identification (diagnosis), intervention, and evaluation. The learning experience stimulated ideas for teaching consultation and the parallel team process
