Assignment problem: When meeting with a client for the first time, a counselor typically asks some standard questions to gather information about the presenting issues and complete the biopsychosocial assessment. When engaging in crisis response, sometimes an intake moves so quickly or is so chaotic that the counselor may not gather as much information as they would have liked.
Q1. What are some additional questions that the counselor could ask this client?
Q2. What cultural factors might influence the professional counseling relationship between counselor and client in this scenario?
Q3. After the client's phone call intervention, what should be the next steps? How should the counselor follow up with this client?
