Part 1

Word document of 1–2 pages

The staff at the center have determined a need to add an after-care unit to address some of the current issues that face clients who are dealing with addictions. To get additional funding, the board has asked you to research and develop a plan to present to them to propose the need for the after-care unit. You will need to cover the following in a report of 1–2 pages:

  • Decide which current issue needs to be addressed, then determine which population(s) need to be served (adult males, adult females, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, dual diagnosed, MR/DD, alcoholics, drug addicts by type, etc.).
  • What will the requirements be for entrance into the new unit?
  • Are there any guidelines that the participants will need to follow to remain in the program?
  • What services will you offer them? What types of counseling (i.e., group/individual, etc.)?
  • How long will the program last?
  • How will this serve the clients’ need for continuity of care?

Part 2 A

3-4 slides with notes

1-2 pages

You are working in a community mental health center. The director wants to do a power point presentation for an all staff training meeting providing the staff an overview of legal and ethical issues in mental health treatment.

There have been problems with some clients complaining. Client’s rights advocates report there have been many complaints filed in the agency about confidentiality, client dignity, reporting child abuse, and duty to warn issues. They need to have clarification from staff in order to handle these issues appropriately.

Choose one of the following topics to present to the director for his presentation to the staff meeting: confidentiality, client dignity, reporting child abuse, and duty to warn issues. 3-4 slides with notes to include the following:

  • a description and overview of the topic chosen, why it is important to clients and the legal and ethical implications.
  • a case scenario based on the client population that would illustrate the topic chosen and place it a context for the staff to understand.
  • an explanation on how the agency staff should assist each other and clients in becoming more aware of the chosen topic and avoid issues related to the topic
