The purpose of this assignment is for you, as the crisis interventionist, to learn an organized approach when working with individuals in suicidal crisis. Each question below is designed to guide you as if you were working through the crisis with your client. <\/p>\n
You will take the information from course lectures, your text, the article in the Module 3: Week 3 Reading & Study folder, and the \u201cSuicide Intervention Plan Resources\u201d found in the assignment link in Canvas, along with any other course materials. <\/p>\n
You may find some information is not explicitly identified in the Case Scenario. When we are assessing clients for intervention as counselors, available information may not be transparent or readily offered. As clinicians, we cannot assume or speculate as to unknown details, and we must investigate further to fill in the gaps based on review academic resources, scholarly research, and professional resources. For the assignment, you will find you will be required to perform research in the course materials and professional research to obtain information about the case scenario client and your role as the counselor in the scenario. <\/p>\n
Review the following case scenario and address each of the crisis components for the client. You will include research where needed as specified. Be sure to address the client needs specifically throughout the paper. <\/p>\n
Joanne is a 45-year-old divorcee with a long history of depression. She has had three prior suicide attempts: she has overdosed twice and attempted to slice her wrists. She sees a psychiatrist monthly and is prescribed medication. She is not compliant with her medication. She works a high stress job (60\u201370-hour week), finds all her satisfaction in her work, and has no hobbies. She has not dated since her divorce, resulting from her husband admitting to being gay, 10 years ago. One child is from that marriage, a 13-year-old daughter. Seven years ago, Joanne had an affair with her sister\u2019s husband. Her sister never found out and Joanne ended the relationship after a year because of guilt, but the husband continues to pursue her. Joanne comes by your outpatient clinical counseling office unexpectedly to tell you how much she appreciates you and just wants you to know how important you are to her. In further questioning, she admits to having a gun in her car. She refuses to stay and talk. She \u201cjust wants to go for a drive.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u00b7 Client is very high-risk (actively suicidal and engaging her plan).<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Support your work with scholarly sources. (Note: content taken from the case scenario does not need to be cited or referenced.) <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Narrative paragraph(s) required; bullet points or list formatting is not permitted. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Describe the presenting problem and identify the immediate crisis. Note: not all issues constitute the presenting problem. What is the presenting problem specifically?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Address every high-risk detail that indicates the\u00a0imminent\u00a0nature of this client\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Narrative paragraph(s) required; bullet points or list formatting is not permitted.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Identify the precipitating event(s).\u00a0What events have led up to the Presenting Problem?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Narrative paragraph(s) required; bullet points or list formatting is not permitted. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Identify four areas: material, personal, and social, and community resources available to the individual and the challenges related to this section.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Again, you will need to go beyond those stated in the scenario. As a counselor, consider the resources available to her in the community at various levels. (Assume she resides in an adequately resourced community.)<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Address both her current resources for the immediate need, as well as those that will benefit her and are available. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 This section requires you to identify known resources and protective factors, as well as referrals for the client beyond the scenario.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Address the client\u2019s available resources and protective factors specifically. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Research support is needed for those not stated in the scenario.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Length: 1\/2 page<\/p>\n
\n Spirituality<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Narrative paragraph(s) required; bullet points or list formatting is not permitted.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Format with the two (2) level 3 headings shown in this section:
\n Ethical Considerations<\/i>\n <\/p>\n
and
\n Spiritual Considerations<\/i>\n <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Length: 1\/2 page<\/p>\n
\n Ethical Considerations<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
While may not always know a client\u2019s spirituality or current state of spirituality, we must act in accordance with the ACA and AACC Codes of Ethics in the \u201cSuicide Intervention Plan Resources\u201d found in the assignment link in Canvas. What do
\n each<\/u> of these ethics require when working with a very high-risk client?\u00a0What do we know from the literature about the impact of spirituality in very high-risk clients? Length: \u00bc page.\n <\/p>\n
\n Spiritual Considerations<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Discuss the spiritual considerations for suicidal clients.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 We do not know this client\u2019s spiritual orientation. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 What does the research report about faith and suicide?<\/p>\n
\u00b7 At least one scholarly source required.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Length: \u00bc page<\/p>\n
\n Interventions<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Bullet point formatted (as shown in Kolski et al. (2015) text); this section is not to be a narrative paragraph. Keep in mind, listing should list key points and should not include sentences.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Using the TIP 50 resource in the \u201cSuicide Intervention Plan Resources\u201d found in the assignment link in Canvas, list the
\n immediate<\/u> interventions (pre-stabilization phase) for Joanne, a very high-risk client.\n <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Listing general steps for intervention without specificity to the client will result in deductions. State how you will do to intervene for Joanne rather than intervention options available.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Notes:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Keep in mind your setting (a private counseling office) and the very high-risk level of the client.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Ensure the safety of you, the client, and the community. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Notice, much of the risk assessment is provided in the case scenario. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 The interventions should meet the client in the present moment and immediate need to achieve stabilization.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Length: \u00bc page<\/p>\n
\n Treatment Plan: Goals and Interventions<\/b>\n <\/p>\n
\u00b7 For the treatment plan, the client has completed your recommended interventions in the previous section and is now stable and resuming outpatient counseling with you as her counselor.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Do not include interventions for the immediate crisis in your treatment plan; these should be addressed in the previous section.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Approach the treatment plan for the treatment frequency of 1-hour sessions at 1 time per week for 12 weeks\/3 months.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Develop your treatment plan using\u00a0the treatment planners found in the assignment link in Canvas: Klott & Jongsma (2015) and Kolski\u00a0et al. (2015) as guides. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Keep in mind, the treatment plan must be SMART (see next main bullet point), <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Copy-pasting from the Wiley Treatment Planners without including SMARTs will result in deductions. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 You must individualize your treatment plan to the client.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 The plan must be SMART: client-centered, individualized, specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-oriented, and appropriate for the client in the case scenario. Use the SMART resource found in the assignment link in Canvas.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Both the counselor and client should be represented in the treatment plan demonstrating collaborative development.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Five (5) problems are required: mental\/psychological, biological\/physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 You will only develop one plan for each problem. Do not add additional goals, objectives and interventions for each problem. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Format each problem as shown in this example borrowed from ICANnotes.com (n.d.).:<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n \t\tGoal 1: <\/b> Mary will reduce overall level, frequency, and intensity of anxiety so that daily functioning is not impaired.\n <\/p>\n
\n \t\t\tObjective 1:<\/b> Mary will learn and practice at least 2 anxiety management techniques with goal of decreasing anxiety symptoms to less than 3 times per week\n <\/p>\n
\n \t\t\t\tIntervention 1:<\/b> Therapist\/Counselor will teach and support Mary to learn and be able to verbalize at least 2 communication strategies that can help decrease anxiety to the point where anxiety will occur less than once per day.\n <\/p>\n
