Concept of helping clients during the case management process The concept of helping clients during the case management process will reduce recidivism, enhance public safety, and promote success. The case management concept is complex because different components may happen at different times during the treatment process. Each individual is unique and different, so therefore, the treatment has to be different. Freeman (2001) stated, “The traditional case management plan calls for reduction of problematic symptoms by a certain percentage” (p. 77). Case managers are professionals who provide treatment and services to clients so they can live productive in society.
Counselling/ counselling ideas may help to cope with the challenges of ‘change’ ‘The more I am willing to be myself in all this complexity of life […] the more I am willing to understand and accept the realities in myself and in the other person […]” Rogers (1961). In order to tackle changes in a client’s life, it is important for the counsellor themselves to be self-aware and have an understanding of others’ values, beliefs and attitudes although they may conflict with their own. The counsellor is there to help the client adapt to these changes, helping clients to push out old information and take in new- this however is also an aspect of change which the counsellor has to help the client pursue whilst keeping ethical and professional boundaries. Changes are accompanied by strong emotions, both negative and positive and counselling is able to support the transition from one state to another. When looking at coping with change it is not possible to ignore some of the events which change our development, life events which cause significant change are called transitions (Jeffery, J in Aldridge, S & Rigby, S 2004).

Discriminatory practices can result in a lowering of self esteem, it can leave the service user feeling low and not knowing their self-worth. In health and social care a service users having low self-esteem is common but must be avoided as it can have a large impact on the service user’s health and wellbeing. Low self esteem has many effects such as fear and anxiety that makes service users reluctant to use health care services, poor self- confidence this is when a person is not comfortable with their appearance, mixed emotions is when a person is overwhelmed with emotions and reacts differently for example they might become very angry for no apparent reason and depression, this is a very common result of low self esteem and effects a person’s well-being as they may require medication. All of these factors can make service users seeking the care or medical attention that they need. In the case of Kate she is withdrawn from using health care services because of the low self-esteem.
The obesity ‘epidemic’ is becoming of major concern and until recently there were very little studies designed to focus on weightism and anti-fat attitudes. Puhl, R., and Heuer, C. (2009) investigated the occurrence of weight discrimination in the workplace, educational institutions and health care facilities and discusses the consequences for those affected by weight stigma. The social implications of weight stigma towards obese and overweight people result in obese students less likely to attain higher education because of the constant ridicule and bias towards them. Negative stereotypes and attitudes towards obese people have affected their ability to interact confidently and comfortably in a social environment. It has been established that psychological problems have arisen for individuals who have been a victim of weight stigma and some consequences of this are depression, body image dissatisfaction and low self esteem.

I think that working with participants who have severe mental illness might be a challenge. But in general, race, age, and gender, are realities that certainly can have a negative impact on the therapeutic relationship. However, my argument is that this is not limited to CBT. Therapists must be aware of these dynamics and address them adequately no matter what intervention is
Many people living in poverty are divorced, are single parents, or have unhappy marriages. They tend to have higher rates of dropping out of school, arrest, and mental disorders. Because of limited access to health care, they are more likely to suffer from poor physical health than are people considered middle class or above. Sociologists and others have had difficulties collecting valid information about poverty and drug use. Surveys of drug users do not always present an accurate picture.
For example, some differences are water and sanitation, diseases (such as HIV), medicine and medical treatment. Water and sanitation is a factor which differs in developing and developed countries. The lack of clean water in many developing countries is one of the main issues. “In 2000, more than 830 million people in Asia Pacific region did not have access to safe drinking water.” (UN-HABITAT ORG, 2010).This sort of scenario does not occur in a developed country as it would not be seen as acceptable, and there would be a national uproar as citizens in developed countries know and stand up for their rights, unlike the poor people in these countries who know that nothing will help them. “UK water suppliers place the highest priority on assuring the quality of water provided to their customers.
