Title of the Paper in Full
Write a brief introduction that identifies which case study, client, and mental health
disorder you chose for your project. Be sure to fully describe your client and include details about what behaviors bring the client to counseling. The presenting problem is described as what is going “wrong” for the client. Describe what happens to the client that is causing difficulty in everyday living circumstances. What is the mental health concern that is driving the problematic behaviors? Clearly identify both the presenting problem and the mental health concern (e.g. death of a significant other can cause depression).
Then identify the intervention you are investigating for use in evidence-based practice.Describe the intervention and describe how you will use it for your selected client. This is where you introduce the purpose and format of the paper. Keep in mind that each section (under each heading) will need at least one paragraph (i.e., a minimum of three sentences).
Research Question
Insert your approved research question. Remember that each paragraph should have a minimum of three (3) sentences. You might include information about the mental health issue you are examining and the intervention to be used.
Search Strategy
Please describe the process you used to find the 3 articles you selected. This process will include the steps you used in the Walden Library (or another library source). Describe the Boolean search strategies and key words you used to conduct your search. Be thorough in your description of how you conducted your professional literature search. Explain how you know the articles you selected are peer reviewed. Also remember that you should have 1 qualitative, 1quantitative article and another article of your choice between qualitative and quantitative. Remember that each paragraph should have a minimum of three (3) sentences.

Evidence-based practiceand application to case study
In this section, give an overall summary of the findings for all three articles you analyzed. Describe the general outcomes of what the studies found in terms of how well the intervention worked with the disorder and population you were exploring. Answer your research question. If the topics in your articles were related but do not match, explain how you drew your conclusions to answer the research question. Describe how you would use this information in your work with the client in your chosen case study. Give one specific example of clinical application of the intervention using a scenario that includes your client from the case study.
Treatment plan (CMHC & MCFC)
With consideration for the presenting problem of the client and your chosen intervention, write one preliminary treatment goal for your client. A mental health treatment plan (or action plan) is simply a set of written instructions and records relating to the treatment of the problematic behavior or diagnosis.
A treatment plan does many things, the most important of which include:
Defining the problem or ailment
Describing the treatment prescribed by the health/mental health professional
Setting a timeline for treatment progress
Identifying the major treatment goals
Noting important milestones and objectives.
This is important to demonstrate how the research you found would lead to an effective treatment for your client.
Action Plan (SC Only)
With consideration for the mental health issue of the client, create an Action Plan of next steps a School Counselor could take once the issues are identified. Discuss three different actions to help the client as applied to the role of a school counselor.
Implementation strategies are critical to effectively address the needs of our students. Discuss the Mindset Standard(s) and Behavior Standard(s) students will demonstrate through classroom lessons, activities and/or individual/small group counseling. Please see https://www.schoolcounselor.org/asca/media/asca/home/MindsetsBehaviors.pdf
Managing data is key. Consider how such competencies would be measured to assess student progress.
Conclusion
Please remember to add a conclusion paragraph. The conclusion should include a summary of what you included in your paper. You should outline the salient points that you have made and include how this information will impact your future practice as a counselor. The conclusion is a way for you to reinforce the points you were attempting to make as well as ensure that you have covered all the expectations for the assignment.

Case Study
Jim is a 14-year-old Caucasian male whose parents have requested services.Jim’s sister, Helen, died suddenly 5 months ago in a car accident. Since then, Jim’s behavior has changed and his parents are worried about him. His parents assumed that he was exhibiting these behaviors as a result of shock and grief. However, Jim’s behaviors have escalated and his mother discovered several empty beer bottles and empty compressed air cans hidden in his bedroom. Jim’s parents believe he is drinking alcohol and huffing, and this has prompted them to bring Jim to see a counselor.
Jim claims that he has only tried drinking or huffing on a couple of occasions, and that he does not have a problem. Prior to Helen’s death, Jim was on the A-B Honor Roll at school. During the past couple of months, his grades have started slipping and his academic achievement is being impacted. During the last month,he has been hanging out with new “friends” who his dad describes as “goth”. He no longer spends time with his childhood friends and recently was caught skipping class and received in school suspension. Jim’s teachers are worried about his academic achievement and his social and emotional development. Jim’s teachers indicate that he has become more introverted in his behavior in recent weeks and no longer engages in classroom discussions and is somewhat uncooperative during group activities.
Jim has always been cooperative at home so his parents are worried about changes in his attitude. He is not verbally disrespectful to his parents at this time, though he has become more secretive putting passwords on his phone and locking his bedroom door. When his parents ask him to unlock the door or remove the password, he does so, but only temporarily.Jim’s father is in recovery for alcoholism and is very fearful that Jim will develop an addiction to substances.Jim’s mother is adamant that this is just a “stage” and that Jim is just “being a teenager.” Jim’s parents do not talk about his sister’s death which has left Jim to find his own way of coping with his grief. Mom is an enabler who ignores Helen’s death and Dad goes to AA meetings to get support in maintaining his 7 years of sobriety, leaving all members of the family to hurt in isolation.
School Counselors: Jim’s teachers have reached out to you for interventions to help Jim become successful in school.
