Recommendation for treatment and rationale: Propose a thoughtful treatment recommendation for the client.

In this assignment, you will build upon the suicide assessment case scenario from Week 6 [see COUN5106 Crisis Assessment.docx], focusing on effective communication of assessment results. Your task is to create a detailed report that not only provides accurate information but also demonstrates sensitivity to the complexities of the case. School counselors and clinical mental health counselors have distinct roles in suicide assessment. For this reason, the assignment instructions differ for each specialization to best prepare you for your future role as a counselor. Follow the instructions for your specialization. Instructions for a Clinical Mental Health Counselor Write a report that you will send to your referral source or other stakeholder. In your report, include: Demographic information: Provide a succinct overview of the client’s demographic details. Mental status exam: Write 1–2 sentences for the MSE based on the information in the case scenario. Presenting problem: Clearly articulate the client’s presenting problem, ensuring clarity for the referral source or stakeholder. Relevant background and history: Include a comprehensive overview of the client’s background and history, integrating cultural considerations that may impact the assessment and treatment process. Risk and protective factors: Identify and discuss the risk and protective factors that emerged during the assessment. Provide a nuanced understanding of how these factors contribute to the client’s current situation. Suicide assessment results: Present the findings of the suicide assessment. Include a detailed analysis of the identified risk level. Use clear and respectful language, recognizing the sensitivity of the topic. Recommendation for treatment and rationale: Propose a thoughtful treatment recommendation for the client. Justify your recommendation based on the assessment results and relevant clinical considerations. Guidelines for Report Development Professional tone: Maintain a professional and empathetic tone throughout the report, acknowledging the gravity of the subject matter.
