    The Better Access to Mental Health Care program was launched in 2006 and allowed people suffering from mental health conditions to receive psychological support through the Medicare system (Mullings, 2015). The Better Access program resulted in a two-tiered Medicare rebate system that saw clinical psychologists receiving higher Medicare rebates of $124.50, in comparison to general registered psychologists, who received a Medicare rebate of $84.80 (Meteyard & O'hara, 2015). This two tiered Medicare rebate system arose due to both clinical psychologists and the Australian Psychology Society (APS) stressing concerns about the limited training that different medical practitioners in psychology (such as general psychologists or counselling psychologists) received in regards to psychological therapies (Mullings, 2015). The APS state that the upper part of the tier should only include services provided by clinical psychologists because they possess the skills necessary to treat psychological and psychiatric disorders, and hence believe that the two-tiered structure should be maintained (The Australian Psychological Society, 2011).…

I realize that addiction can be an amazingly difficult problem to treat. I know that it takes a strong minded, experienced sponsor to help individuals find their way to sobriety. I also believe that recovery must go beyond just being sober, and a mental health counselor is in a better position to help with compounding issues that a person who suffers from addiction faces. I want to be able to not only help a person stay sober, but help them have a fulfilling life, emotional…

    Goals Goal setting should be done by both counselor and client together. Goals both short and long term should be based on what the client wants, not the counselor. When setting goals, goal statements should be specific enough so we know what we are aiming for, measurable so we can determine our progress, action-oriented to know what behaviors to enact, realistic so that they are practical and within the client’s capability to fulfill and time-bound so we have a target time of completion (S.M.A.R.T goals) (Set Effective Goals for Your Recovery, 2014).…
