Essay

Reflect on the following with respect to working as a helper in a community setting,"One issue you will have to grapple with is the effects of managed health care,created by the reimbursement system of third-party payees of health insurance.You may engage in brief and short-term counseling in these settings because managed care usually only covers the cost of a certain number of counseling sessions a year.Moreover,you will probably be required to provide a fair amount of written documentation and accountability,often in the form of client treatment plans to "justify" the sessions for a given client with a particular diagnosis.Overall,you may be challenged to do more work with fewer available resources." What recommendations would you make to helpers in those settings to address the realities of the system requirements while at the same time optimizing client outcomes?
