As a clinician working with the clients in the community we are subject to run over times. A majority of the clients have socialization issues that makes it difficultly to engage within the community by themselves and the clinician is there to help assist them. A majority of the clients don't have family members that they are dealing with due to the heightened mental issuers so this limits them.
I currently work with clients that are living in rural areas making it impossible to get to appointments without going over time.
I have a concern that working with my clients that may have times when they have great difficulty with heightened symptoms and are isolated in the home and the clinician are having to take the clients to the doctor or hospital for evaluation to make sure that they are okay and the waiting time may be extremely long and they are unable to be left alone.
