Assessment for and   Challenges Related to Pervasive Mental Illness and Health Concerns 

a   brief description of three symptoms/cues observed in a couple/family session   that may require assessment and intervention beyond the scope of a   couple/family session and explain why. Then, explain how you, as a helping   professional, might take the next steps with the individual who requires   additional assessment and intervention. Finally, explain any challenges of   continuing working with the couple/family once an individual requires   concurrent treatment.
