Work History

Freshman Mental Health Program

Personal Employer
09.2023 - 12.2023
  • My consultation client was a 5-year-old girl, who suffering from mental disorder. Usually, before the daily work, I need to negotiate with the client to arrange the work agenda for one day, and the work agenda for the next day should be properly arranged, accurate to the schedule of each day and each hour. Generally speaking, the consultation arrangement I can do in a day will be between 09:00 and 20:00 and mainly face to face consultation during the day and night
  • It usually took no more than 30 minutes to write the consultation record, which means I must control the whole consultation process to be recorded within 30 minutes. The contents contained in this document include information about the objectives of the consultation, the core focus of the meeting, the assignment of homework, the assessment of the client's life and work situation, including how to establish the consultation plan after that, these records must be clearly marked.
  • Before each consultation, reflect on and review the previous consultation records and details to prepare for the next consultation
  • The effect of psychological counseling should be monitored to determine whether the client has changed, and psychological questionnaire should be given to the client every once in a while to assess whether the state of the client has improved.
