Homework
This Homework is in two parts, the first is to use the S.M.A.R.T. goals as the basis for a hypothetical case plan for Hanna. Use the Sample Service Plan found in DocSharing to create a short service plan using her presenting problem and the goals to remove her barriers to treatment. Remember to base the goals on her strengths. Then, do some research to find at least three agencies in your local area that could provide these services.
Scenario: Hanna
Hanna is in treatment at your mental health center for Acute Stress Disorder. She tells you that recently, she is unable to think clearly at night because she begins to feel anxious that her oldest son will not return safely from his military deployment. She adds that her boss has given her two extra shifts a week at her call center job. It is overwhelming during those shifts the client reports because they are the heaviest call times. Client stated that she is in line for a promotion, so does not want to refuse the shifts. Client then reported that she has not been eating or sleeping well because she has to drink wine to get to sleep at night. Client stated that she thinks that she needs to drink to get to sleep now. When asked about her children, client stated that she and her husband have custody of them, but her youngest daughter is causing a lot of trouble in school. She thinks that the daughter might have a mental health or learning disability issue but is unsure. The client mentions that her husband might contact the school because he is really good with working with the children on their homework at night. Before leaving the session, the client reported that her stomach has been hurting for the past week and she can barely move sometimes because of the cramps.
In the second part of this Homework, write 1,000 words paper that answers the questions below. Remember to base your responses on the service plan that you created in the first portion of the Homework. When you are finished, add your paper to the service plan and submit it as one Homework.
In your paper, respond to these questions:
i. What is Hanna's presenting problem? How has this kept her from focusing on her treatment?
ii. Describe Hanna's barriers to treatment and how those could be prevented or minimized.
iii. Explain the short, mid, and long-term goals that you proposed and tell how they help Hanna build self-sufficiency skills.
iv. Predict Hanna's success by explaining her strengths. How did you use her strengths in the development of the service goals?
