: Durfey
Case Study Option A
Instructions
The purpose of this assignment is to apply your knowledge and deepen your learning
by responding to real life examples that you or others may face in defending the Proclamation and the eternal family
.
Your response to the case study you have chosen may be written in essay format, or you may choose to write your response as if you were speaking or writing directly to someone facing the situation described. Your response must show thought, reflection, pondering, and depth, and be presented with college-level writing skills. The following should be integrated into your response:
The gospel doctrines or principles that are involved in the case study, and how they help to clarify and give direction in addressing the situation.
Messages from scripture, the proclamation, and the course readings for the current unit of study that address the dilemma and how those messages would be helpful.
Your own suggestions and ideas about actions that would be helpful in addressing the issue.
Your response must include:
At least four references,
each from a
different talk or article
in the current course readings. These may be direct quotes or paraphrases of statements, and must include appropriate in-text citations. (See Good Writing Practices for REL 200
)
A pertinent passage from the Proclamation
A scripture
that would support your thoughts and ideas
As an option,
you may choose to use two statements from two of the most recent General Conference addresses in place of two references from the current course readings
Be sure to connect the references to your thoughts and discuss why or how the reference helps to address the situation in the case study
. These assignments help you to dig deeply into the readings for the course and to show your understanding of the content, but they are not a place to simply regurgitate what you have learned. Please have at least 50% or more of the text be your thoughts and comments. It may be helpful to bold
or use a different color of text for your references and citations. This will help you see how much of the text is from quotes and words of others and how much is your own words.
Case Study Report

Mental health can really do a number on your spiritual from time to time. The joy you once felt my not be the same. There are times that you feel that it’s more of a burden or you feel being judged that you keep away, but please don’t. If you feel that this is your place of peace, please continue going.

are well themselves. Now that mental health itself dates back to the Bible. In Psalm 42, for example, the unnamed psalmist asks, “Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance” (Psalm 42). Fear of stigma often complicates the process of seeking support. You might have some concerns over what the church members might think, or worry
that it might interrupt, but don’t worry! Elder Erich W. Kopischke gave a talk addressing mental health, he stated, “our doctrine teaches us to strive to become like Jesus Christ and be perfected in Him. Our children sing, “I’m trying to be like Jesus.”

We long to be perfect even as our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ are perfect (Addressing Mental Health, n.d.). Now that you aren’t alone. There are so many contributing factors that may lead to a diagnosis of mental illness. Regardless of our mental and emotional well-being, focusing on growth is healthier than obsessing about our shortcomings. Elder Holland once said, “That disciples of Jesus Christ are to have “compassion one of another” (Like a Broken Vessel, n.d.). If we are true disciples we to should have compassion. He continued by saying, “The greatest assurance in God’s plan is that a Savior was promised, a Redeemer, who through our faith in Him would lift us triumphantly over those tests and trials, even though the cost to do so would be unfathomable for both the Father who sent Him and the Son who came (Like a Broken Vessel, n.d.). Always know that, God’s love is there for you whether or not. Don’t think alone you can fix everything, you can fix what you can as you lean on Him. I loved this article,
it’s so true, if you love someone, and you are there for them! Elder Renlund said, ““The best thing is: if you genuinely love the person, then you’re willing to sit there with them, and you’re willing to cry with them, and you’re willing to hold them. And you do that in concert with health care professionals and with ecclesiastical leaders, with friends and family support. In most cases people continue to have a burden, but the burden can be
made lighter. And as that happens, joy can fill their soul again.”As we live this mortal life, we are encouraged to educate ourselves on how we can make things better not perfect.
