Problem:
Because the class was required for graduation, the student realized that they would not be able to finish their degree if they were asked to leave the class although the professor had not done this. After this experience in class, the student stopped attending classes and stayed in their dormitory room for 3 days, trying to summon the courage to tell their parents. They were devastated that they felt that they had let down their family who had contributed significantly for them to be able to be able to attend university. Their concerned roommate assisted them in going to the university Mental Health Centre to see a counsellor. Discuss how you, as the counsellor, might inquire to find out what happened for student in class and about how they responded as they did, help reduce the student's distress, and help collaborate with them to be able to go back to class. Please consider contextual factors that may have been affecting the student such as how to navigate what may be unfamiliar classroom styles, homesickness, trying to acclimate to Canadian environments, and to also look for places of their strength in undertaking learning in a university in Canada. How might you adapt and use the Vancouver Index of Acculturation (VIA) described by Ryder et al. (2000) and used more recently (for example, see Jurcik et al., 2019; Vaswani et al., 2020) when working with this client? Need Assignment Help?
