When I assumed the role as an Intake Counselor for the role play, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Upon meeting with my client, I was slightly nervous but hopeful in gaining some insight as to why he was referred to the agency. I met with my client, Jon, after he completed the intake form and learned that he had been referred from the hospital’s emergency room the previous night. Jon presented several issues during our session. He mentioned that he had in fact been suffering from anxiety attacks, depression, and ran out of his medication. He noted that he hadn’t been eating, was constantly cleaning, exhausted, divorced, unemployed, abusing substances, history of aggression, and had a volatile relationship with his ex-wife and children.
