In one instance, a client was resistant to treatment and refused to attend group sessions. I approached this by first understanding their concerns through active listening and empathy. I then collaborated with the treatment team to create a personalized plan that addressed their fears and incorporated their preferences. Over time, this approach helped the client feel more comfortable and gradually reintegrated them into the program.

Maintaining professional boundaries is crucial in this role. I do this by clearly communicating expectations, setting limits, and consistently adhering to the facility's policies. I also engage in regular self-reflection to ensure my actions remain professional and that I do not cross any boundaries. This helps create a safe and supportive environment for clients.

I believe in fostering an inclusive environment by respecting cultural differences, being mindful of language, and tailoring interventions to meet individual needs. I also encourage open communication and actively listen to clients' perspectives. By valuing diversity and promoting inclusivity, I aim to create a space where all clients feel respected and understood.

I stay informed by regularly reading professional journals, attending workshops and conferences, and participating in continuing education courses. I also collaborate with colleagues to share knowledge and insights. This ongoing learning helps me provide the most effective and evidence-based care to clients.

In such situations, I remain calm and composed, using de-escalation techniques such as active listening and validating the client's feelings. I also ensure my body language is non-threatening and maintain a safe distance. If necessary, I would involve the appropriate staff and follow the facility's protocols to ensure everyone's safety while addressing the client's needs.
