My choice is a Mental Health Counselor. After reading Chapter 7, it
give me the insight of how to approach and interact with a client as a
helper to them. This role listen to a clients reason for being in
counseling and it also gives an estimate time to spend with a
counselor to cover all the needs for their counseling. In this job it is
the helpers role to be in full attention to the client. Greeting the
client in a positive manner to help the client relax in the atmosphere
and to be able to look at the helper face to face and have a good idea
and impression of who the client is with. The helper needs to show
that their focus is on the client and the kind of counseling needed for
the client. A Mental Health Counselor has the job of assessing the
client, providing client in education, maybe at some point conducting
family groups with relatives, working closely with your clients needs,
identify problems, troubleshooting social challenges and have
referrals for further needs to a more professional help then
counseling can provide. The goal is to be the helper a client can reach
out to for support and encouragement.
