Problem
Explain how you would handle a client who states he is feeling hopeless and helpless. How would you assess for suicidality? If the client only has fleeting thoughts but no plan, what strategies might you employ? Explain skills you would use to help a client presenting with a crisis situation and/or traumatic experience. When and how would you consult with other professionals related to this scenario? How might an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary team aid in successful treatment outcomes?
