 This should be no longer than two paragraphs per discussion and should show your understanding of the week’s readings.
Assignment has to demonstrate a meaningful synthesis of the material posted (typically a research article) and the corresponding chapter assigned for that week. Keep in mind that your discussion forum postings will likely be seen by other members of the course. Care should be taken when determining what to post.
Specifically, your posts should be critically reflecting on each week’s postings, relate it back to the week’s chapter, and will be graded based on your ability to connect the two in a thoughtful and coherent way. It is very important that you reference your readings in these weekly posts as just making a post does not guarantee points. Your grade for each post will be based on the quality of your response. It is also important that you read the week’s posting in its entirety. Again, part of the grading criteria includes the student’s ability to add value to the ongoing discussion by connecting the material with information from the book and possibly outside sources. 
This should be no longer than two paragraphs per discussion and should show your understanding of the week’s readings.

Choose a population served by clinical mental health counselors
Choose an existing local community (e.g. Elgin, Carpentersville, Rockford, Roscoe, etc.) and write a comprehensive paperrr on the community’s mental health and other resources that serve this population.
Address the following: Why is this population in need of services? What kind of mental health resources are available for individuals/families in your population in your chosen community? What mental health agencies—for profit, not for profit, government are available? Waiting lists? Transportation? What are the self-help groups available? Religious organizations? Who are the physicians/psychologists/psychiatrists in this community who may work with this population? Do the providers accept Medicare and/or Medicaid? Are there daycare/adult daycare services? Where is the nearest homeless shelter? Domestic violence shelter?
Once this overall picture is established, evaluate whether this community is meeting the needs of its residents. How or how not? How could the community improve their resources? How would you (as a counselor) like to work in this community and how would you help your chosen population in this community?
This paperrr should be approximately 15 pagess in length (not including title or reference pages) and follow APAA format. A cover page, abstract, and at least 5 scholarly references are required.
Power Point

Domestic terrorism typically involves acts perpetrated by individuals or groups within the borders of their own country, often motivated by grievances against their government or societal institutions, and international terrorism involves acts carried out by individuals or groups operating across national borders, often with transnational objectives or affiliations with foreign entities (Brine & Brine, 2021).
Ahlam Ahmad Al-Tamimi, also known as Ahlam Tamimi, gained international attention for her involvement in a terrorist attack in Israel in 2001. Born in 1980 in Silwad, West Bank, Tamimi was convicted for her role in the Sbarro restaurant suicide bombing in Jerusalem, which resulted in the deaths of 15 civilians, including 7 children, and wounded over 130 others. Despite being sentenced to 16 life terms in prison, she was released in 2011 as part of a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas. Tamimi’s case has sparked debates about terrorism, prisoner exchanges, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ahlam Ahmad Al-Tamimi has shown no remorse for her actions and has continued to advocate for violence against Israelis, garnering both support and condemnation from various groups (Individual Charged in Connection with 2001 Terrorist Attack in Jerusalem That Resulted in Death of Americans. 2017). She is considered a domestic terrorist, and her actions align with broader patterns of terrorist behavior, particularly in terms of ideological motivation, targeting of civilians, and association with extremist organizations. Her characteristics align with those of a domestic terrorist ideological ideation, targeting civilians, membership in a terrorist organization, and lack of remorse.
To assess the actions of Ahlam Ahmad Al-Tamimi, the TRAP-18 indicators may help in identifying key characteristics or risk factors associated with individuals who engage in terrorist activities, including ideological motivation, past involvement in extremist groups, and patterns of behavior indicative of violent intent (Meloy et al., 2019). By identifying specific risk factors and behavioral indicators, professionals can better assess the level of risk posed by individuals like Al-Tamimi and develop appropriate intervention and prevention strategies to mitigate the threat of terrorism (Meloy et al., 2019).

Terrorism, Domestic and International Terrorism
Terrorism is described as crimes committed by a person or group of people that have some form of hate towards something which they intend to distill fear or intimidation. According to the FBI (n.d.), international terrorism are violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored). While domestic terrorism is violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals stemming from domestic influences, such of a political, religious, social, racials, or environmental nature. One example of an international terrorist group is the Islamic State of Iraq and ash-Sham (ISIS), while Eric Rudolph who bombed and killed the Olympic Games in 1996 would be considered as a domestic terrorist.
Elliot Rodger- Involuntary Celibacy (Incel) Terrorist
In Isla Vista, California, on May 23rd, 2014, Eliot Rodger killed six people in a violent shooting and stabbing rampage. According to BBC News (2018), “he planned his murderous rampage as a “Day of Retribution” and said he had “no choice but to exact revenge on the society” that had denied him sex and love”. He stabbed two of his roommates, shot 2 women outside of a sorority house, and then went on a rampage firing at a man and killing him. Eliot’s quote, “If I can’t have it, I will destroy it”, was his viewpoint for his outrage. Eliot wanted to purposely target the sorority house because he thought they had the prettiest females and that they were the types that would deny having sex with him. His lonely and insecure life led him to post various messages online about himself. During his younger years, his family would tease him because he was a virgin and never kissed a female. Rodgers has gained many supporters and people idolize him for the hate he showed against women and for committing the crime spree. Eliot Rodger committed suicide after posting a video about the act he just committed.
According to Witt (2020), These killers share a common connection through their participation and membership within an online subculture of the Men’s Rights Movement, MRM), known as the ‘involuntary celibate’ or ‘incel’ community”. Involuntary celibates (incels) are people or a person who may target women due to sexual frustrations. They are unlikely to find sexual partners in which they are attracted to and dislike rejection. While they mainly targeted women, they may also target men as well. Cottee (2021), “there are no female incels: women who invoke a master status based on the claim that men deprive them of sex and inherently demonic”. Incels desire a specific bond from the people they show resentment towards and in this case, he targeted women who look like the women who disregarded him. Within the articles, incels were described as loners and were socially isolated from the world. Some of the incels were known to have mental health issues, health issues, or even personal issues. Although Eliott did not have any mental health issues, after committing his criminal acts, many researchers believed he did. As mentioned by Witt (2020), “he described himself as separated from humanity, denied a normal life, and existing in a near-constant state of emotional distress”.
“Although the incel subculture draws on a reservoir of misogyny that finds validation in the wider culture, anyone who as spent even a moment inside an incel online forum will be stuck by its cultural specifities” (Cottee, 2021). Rodgers was known to be a frequent user in this community. After his rampage, members within the incel community praised him and even called him “Saint Eliott”. Members praised him because they believe that he wrote and conducted his manifesto of frustrations. As Eliot remains a hero within the incel community, his criminal acts remain symbol of how he perceived women whom he was unable to gain attention from.
