    Orlando Espinoza informed the program manager, Jim Zenner, that many veterans were missing their medical appointments, along with non-medical VA appointments in West Los Angeles (HUD+VASH Program, HPACT, and the Los Angeles Regional Benefit Office). When the clients miss their appointments, it affects their performance with finding permanent housing, because they get discouraged and unmotivated.

The VA currently has a small number of medical mobile units active throughout the United States, but a study was conducted on six clinics operating in areas that were…

    Case Analysis From a multicultural perspective, African Americans value family and religion. I believe this comes from the early African American family values from the “slavery days” because our ancestors had to endure and tolerate a lot of hard work, hardship, discrimination, and mistreatment. Because of this, they heavily relied on prayer and each other just to make it through each day. For most African American families, valuing family and religion still exists and many households, but that doesn’t mean that our culture are without other troubles. As a matter of fact, most times African American families like to keep their personal problems in the household to keep others out of their private matters which can be both a good and bad…

    The ethical implications of a counselor expressing their values to a client Young, Scott, Craig, and Cashwell (2016) explain that it is often difficult for a person to exist and work in a manner that is value-neutral. According to Young, Scott, Craig, and Cashwell, 2016, value-neutral is a term in psychotherapy used to explain the goal of not changing the value of a client to match that of a professional, by assuming that the values of the professional are preferable. Although counselors often have their set of values, just like other people have, it is important that they understand that the goal of counseling is to ensure that a client examines his/her value systems and beliefs and make decisions accordingly. According to ACA code of ethics (2014), Section A.4.b., explains that counselors should refrain from imposing their values, behaviors, and beliefs.…

    This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which according to Rogers (1975) in his “client-centered” therapy argues that it encourages the client to share the information in more depth than if I was only asking directive questions. This enabled me to gain information when the client brought out the underlying issues including those that I had not thought about. The active listening also improved my relationship with the client since I was able to express acceptance by avoiding any expression of disagreement or judgement thus making him open up and also trust me as his couselor. This method also left me with enough time to explore and diagnose the issue thus noting the new ways of approach to the…
