After reading this week’s posted content and listening to this week’s episode of the Fly on the Wall Project, carefully consider the following questions and choose one to answer in its entirety.
Each question may be answered by only 3 students. It is your responsibility to check all posts and select a question which has not already been answered by 3 of your peers. Please include the number of the question you are answering in the subject line of your post so the rest of the class may easily identify which questions have been answered.
Remember, you must have reviewed the week’s content in order to adequately participate in the Discussion Forum. In your post, incorporate the content into your response where applicable, and consider the principles of the Community Support System (CSS) model (e.g. flexibility; special needs, such as jail diversion; accountability; coordination) and the functions of Case Management (i.e. assessment, planning, linking, monitoring, evaluating) when posting your response.
Your initial response is due by end of the day Thursday 11/3/16.
Comments to at least two of your classmates due by end of the day Sunday 11/6/16.
- What are the resources available in the community for Bianca, who is interested in returning to work? What would be the requirements for her to connect with the resources that you find? Which one do you think would be best for her at this time?
- What are the resources available in the community for Michela, who is interested in returning to school? What would be the requirements for her to connect with the resources that you find? Which one do you think would be best for her at this time?
- How might Michela resuming college help her in other ways than financial and career related? Think about the dimensions of wellness, pick three (other than financial/intellectual/employment) and describe the potential benefits.
- Discuss the techniques Lue Ann used when talking with Bianca about returning to work. What kind of open-ended questions would you ask Bianca in your follow-up meeting if you were Lue Ann? Suppose Mick was concerned about his wife returning to work so soon after her hospitalization. What are some things you would say to him based on your knowledge of the evidence for people with psych conditions who return to work?
