Problem: During an interview stimulation experience with the service user, the case scenario was: Maria is homeless, living in a shelter with two kids, no job, and an alcoholic who is depressed; her husband left with all the money. So by using the simulation experience with Maria as a client, how would I explain I felt prepared? How could I conduct the live simulation interaction in a way that maintains the family's privacy and confidentiality?
How would I demonstrate helping skills and approaches to lead to a productive relationship with a service user? These skills include basic communication skills, active listening, empathy, trust building, and cultural humility. Which intervention skills and strategies would I apply and why?
What would be my strengths and challenges from this interview with Maria?
A. What kind of things would make me uncomfortable/challenge me?
B. How would I apply my intervention skills and strategies to meet the crisis situation? How could I prepare by applying the ALGEE framework for mental health crisis response related to this case?
C. How would I do my simulation differently in the future and why? How would I review the proposed service plan and create buy-in from the service user?
