Since it has been a bit difficult for me to get actually help on the situation with MQ from the unit social worker in the facility where I intern, the students and professor have provided me with new topics to discuss with MQ and different ways to approach the situation with MQ.

As I have mentioned several times, I monitor feedback, complaints policies and procedures all the time. It is part of my role to make sure that all systems and procedures are working well and smoothly.
