This works best because with the results from the RBI the sessions work towards the family’s goal and what they decided and is not motivated by justification for a service to be provided. This approach is more about how the PSP can support the family because it aligns with the principle of learning happening between visits.
After determining the PSP the next step is to figure out how much the PSP is going to be needed, and what outside resources they may need and where they will come from. The amount of help is determined by the family and the team. If it is determined that a PSP will need help with a goal (i.e., the family has chosen communication and speaking as high priority) then there may be a need for collaboration with a SLP (Speech-Language Pathologist). But if the PSP is confident in their ability to work with the family and address their service need then it would be fine to go ahead with constant support from the SLP.

    As a potential counselor, working with a family will be one of my biggest challenges in my premature career. Treating a family entails many factors such as learning their family system(s), culture/ethnic background, communication patterns and identifying any emotional themes among other important elements. Within this process, it is vital to hear all the voices of each family member to find out the concerns, issues or problems each one bring to the family dynamic. However, applying these elements in a family therapy session may look different for every family that seeks treatment. However, it is important to bear in mind that a family therapy session may be the only place, where each family member can have a voice and speak freely.…

In therapy this could be done using an open ended question. “Tell me a little about yourselves and what brings you all in today?” After saying that statement I would ask Kay to go first since she is the mother and not involved as much in Renee’s life as Brenda is involved. During the second stage the therapist’s main focus is to clarify the presenting problem.…

There are numerous intervention services that are provided through schools namely, SENCo, Speech and Language Therapy, Social Workers and Educational Psychologists etc.…

    Cumulatively, my life experiences and challenges have helped me develop good nurturing instincts and an ability to recognize others in need of help. At the same time, I have also developed an intense intellectual curiosity about the human mind and the way that trauma alters the perspective of the individual. I realize that to a large extent, understanding those processes has helped me come to terms with some of my experiences better than I could have without that conceptual understanding. Those personal challenges together with my professional psychiatric nursing experience have contributed to my interest in advanced education. After careful thought, I have drawn the conclusion that the obvious career direction for which I am best suited, by nature and by prior undergraduate…
