Week Nine

March 2nd, 2008 - March 9th, 2008

ACTIVITIES:
  • Help Floy plan for art therapy group
  • Take notes for Floy

REFLECTION:

Floy is out this week, and has asked me to take her place in the morning report with treatment team, as well as hang around the unit and answer any patients' requests. I also attended groups with Michael Kura and other Larue Carter staff. Overall a good week.

INTEGRATION QUESTION: Policy/macro: What are the time frames needed for developing a treatment planning your agency from the time that the client enters your program. Who dictates that policy?

There are no set time frames for any patient at Larue Carter. Working in mental health, it could be very stressful to try to put deadlines on treatment plans. We do have a set day for treatment plans: Tuesday mornings. Each newly admitted patient is seen in treatment team every other week. After they've been there for awhile, and are stabilizing, they are seen once each month. After that, they may be seen once every other month. However, each treatment plan is completely individualized and timing is completely determined by each individual patient.

Weekly Hours: 22
Hours To Date: 129
