After you have completed the Reading, and without reviewing your classmate's responses, post your initial response to the following discussion. Your post should be at least 300-350 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources.
Chronic Illness
It is known that the onset of a chronic illness creates a crisis. This starts a cycle of social and emotional issues. How would you as the counselor help a client start to deal with a chronic illness? What interventions would you use to help the person adapt to the illness and live a productive life in spite of the illness? What type of support services would you recommend to your client? Discuss why these support services would be important and how they can help the person to start living life again.
