MHC 500 Final Project Two Guidelines and Rubric Overview

For Final Project Two, you will participate in Bongo, using the Q&A tool, and apply your resource portfolio to a case conceptualization. The case conceptualization is based on a case study with in-depth details about a client, but you will use your state-specific resources to inform how to approach the client’s needs. This assignment is due in Week Nine. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:

• MHC-500-01: Determine state-specific licensure and credentialing requirements as they relate to clinical mental health counseling • MHC-500-02: Explore state-specific ethical standards and legal considerations as they relate to the role of a clinical mental health counselors across

specialty areas and their relationships with integrated behavioral health care systems • MHC-500-03: Apply theories and models related to clinical mental health counseling as they relate to client case conceptualization • MHC-500-04: Explain how clinical mental health counselors interface with the legal system and mental health service delivery modalities within the

continuum of care • MHC-500-05: Articulate the process of clinical mental health counselors advocating on behalf of the profession and their clients

Prompt Before you participate in this activity, review the Final Project Case Study document. Review the following critical elements and be prepared to address to each of them. Most of the critical elements align with a particular course outcome (shown in brackets). Note: Have your resource portfolio ready to reference where necessary.

I. Discuss which theories and models you would use on the case study client. [MHC-500-03] II. Identify if there are ethical standards you need to consider while working with your client. This should be based on the state in which you are seeking

licensure. Reference the resources in your portfolio. [MHC-500-02] III. Address any legal considerations or requirements for your state that you need to consider while working with this client and considering continuous

Course Work Weekly Activities You will participate in weekly activities in the form of discussions and assignments throughout this course. Note that some discussions use templates, and that those templates are not graded. Assignments also use templates, but those templates are graded based on each week’s assignment rubric. These will help give you the materials and skills to build your resource portfolio and address real-world scenarios that counselors deal with in the field. These practice opportunities and the templates that go with them will help you gain both the information and experience to apply your knowledge in different situations, depending on your state. Final Project Two Submission: Case Conceptualization In Week Nine, you will participate in your second final project. This submission will be graded with the Final Project Two Rubric.

Final Project Two Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Use the Q&A tool in Bongo to address the critical elements of the case study for this final project. Be prepared to utilize and reference your resource portfolio where necessary. You will have between one and three minutes to address each of the statements. Your responses must be clear, with limited background distractions.
