Introduction (Don’t copy directly from below words. They are drafted by ChatGPT. I want to let you know what I want you to know the case plan and you can use your own language to re-write it the same meaning)
Please don’t use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as i am not being familiar with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and the potential query from my supervisor regarding my ability to utilize this approach effectively. It is wise to propose a counseling approach that aligns with my current skills and training
The client finds satisfaction in participating in videography/photography activities invited by friends in the community center. This information guides the revised counseling approach, which combines a Strength-Based Approach and Narrative Therapy. The Strength-Based Approach focuses on identifying and building upon the client’s existing strengths, resources, and positive attributes, while Narrative Therapy helps the client construct a positive life narrative that aligns with their current interests and sources of fulfillment. Notably, the client has revealed that the love for his family played a critical role in his decision not to commit suicide. This profound experience will be explored and integrated into the counseling process, as the client’s family relationships and values emerge as a significant source of meaning, purpose, and resilience. Six-Session Intervention Plan Session 1: Rapport Building and Assessment Establish a strong therapeutic alliance and trust with the client. Gather comprehensive information about the client’s background, interests, strengths, support systems, and family dynamics. Introduce the strength-based and narrative therapy approaches. Session 2: Identifying Strengths, Resources, and Family Values Explore the client’s interests in videography/photography, community involvement, ability to maintain sobriety, and the importance of family relationships. Identify support systems, including friends and family members. Discuss how strengths, resources, and family have helped overcome challenges. Session 3: Goal Setting, Activity Planning, and Family Relationships Assist in setting achievable goals related to videography/photography, community involvement, and family relationships (e.g., improving communication, co-parenting, boundaries). Develop plans for engaging in strength-based activities and addressing family-related goals. Discuss potential barriers and strategies, including family counseling or mediation services. Session 4: Life Story Exploration and Family Narratives Invite the client to share their life story, highlighting positive experiences, achievements, and family moments. Explore the critical moment when the client chose life due to their love for family. Identify preferred narratives, values, beliefs, and cultural influences shaping the client’s sense of self and family. Session 5: Narrative Co-Construction and Reframing Collaborate with the client to co-construct a narrative highlighting strengths, interests, positive relationships, and family values. Reframe past challenges, including the decision not to commit suicide, as manifestations of love and resilience. Engage in narrative practices to reinforce the preferred narrative and identify family as a source of meaning and purpose. Session 6: Review, Maintenance Plan, and Family Connection Review progress, celebrate achievements, and reinforce the preferred narrative. Develop a maintenance plan incorporating family relationships, open communication, quality time, and shared activities. Identify potential family-based resources or support systems for ongoing well-being and self-care. Throughout the counseling process, the emphasis will be on promoting self-acceptance, personal growth, and a sense of purpose through a collaborative and empowering approach. The sessions are structured with clear objectives and actionable steps, making them feasible and easy to execute for social workers. The plan builds upon the client’s existing strengths, interests, and support systems while co-constructing a positive life narrative that aligns with their current sources of fulfillment, particularly their love for family and the decision to choose life.
