Collaborating With Human Services Professionals

For this assignment, review the collaboration scenarios in the presentations, Collaboration Scenarios – Mental Health Counselor Scatterdesk and Collaboration Scenarios – School Counselor Scatterdesk, in this unit’s study, and select then one of the scenarios. You can click on the word transcript next to the title of the media piece to view all the details on one page. Imagine that you are the counselor working with this student or client, and you will be serving as the lead person to coordinate efforts among the team of professionals at this setting.

Complete the following for the scenario you selected:

• Describe the role and function each professional would serve in terms of assessing or responding to any of the legal or ethical issues that may arise when working with this client or student. How does the quality of the interaction impact the service provided to the clients or students?
• Describe the responsibilities of each of the professionals as they collaborate to respond to legal or ethical issues described in the scenario.
  • What are the specific legal and ethical issues that the team will need to address?
  • Describe how the counselor in the scenario will collaborate with other human service and behavioral health professions to address the issues identified.
  • What institutional barriers may interfere with how the professionals work together to address the client or student goals?
• Include references to at least two specific state laws and two specific codes from the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics and the 2016 ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors that relate to your case.
• Develop an effective communication to the professional identified below:
  • For the client in the mental health counselor scenario: You and the client agree she would meet with a psychiatrist for an evaluation. Compose a letter that you would send, with the client’s permission, to the psychiatrist who is not part of the clinic. In the letter, describe the reason for your referral, the relevant information you would like the psychiatrist to have about the client, and the information you would like to receive after the evaluation is completed. (You may need to make up some of the details about the client and your work with her.)
  • For the student in the school counselor scenario: Compose a letter that you would send, with the student’s and his or her parents’ permission, to the school psychologist who will be seeing the student for an evaluation. In the letter, describe the reason for your referral, the relevant information you would like the school psychologist to have about the student, and the information you would like to receive after the evaluation is completed. (You may need to make up some of the details about the student and your work with him.)
