MHSS Changes
 

A client may agree to meet with a specialist, due to their mental health needs. due to experiencing heightened levels of social anxiety or pranoia, of  meeting with a large group of people or someone new, clinician will need to provide skills training in role-playing with the client to decrease their heightened symptoms and how to interact appropriatley with the service providers.  Clinician will also need to facilitate the communication between the service provder and the client to ensure that all information is being informed correctly and for the cleint to be able to follow appropriate medical orders to help maintain stability into the community without hospitalization.  Following the appointments , the clinician will need to help the client obtain appropriate community resources by obtaining refills on medicaitons and this will defenitely take the hours of 5 hours sessions.
