The proposed requirements to make SSPIs and PAs, etc to have to be completed every 7 days is a little ridiculous. Once an SSPI is completed, the majority of the information in that document does not change. To me the most important part of crisis intervention is the actual intervention and helping the clients we serve move on to a healthier lifestyle and not bombarding them with the same questions every week. This has the potential to aggravate clients and discourage them from attending future appointments as they may begin to feel as though they are not getting adequate treatment and therefore the "revolving door" continues. The focus should be on the wellbeing of the clients we serve, not worrying about having to complete a mound of paperwork, in turn the clients are the ones who continue to suffer.
