Speaking with service users who have a mental health problem can be quite challenging in some cases (Kaprowska, 2005). There is, therefore a heavy dependence for carers and support workers presence to facilitate effective communication. Diggings (2004) Suggests that social workers often speak with service user’ key worker or carer rather than directly with the service user. This can have a negative impact on the service user as they can feel that they are not valued. I identified that I had to refocus discussions because the service user I was working with tended to digress.

* 1.2 Lack of communication in the workplace can result in relationships being strained and unfulfilled, it is very important that there is good communication between all members of staff as this ensures things run well and mistakes are not made and things are not overlooked. It also enables us to work effectively with each other. * 2.1/2.2/2.3/2.4 Reading care plans is always a good start when establishing the individual’s communication needs and preferences, if the service user is new to your home then either ask the previous carers or the service users friends and family as they are likely to know and can pass this information to you, this also enables you to put this information in your own care plans for the individual. If the service user is not new to the home but you are, ask other staff how they communicate with them. When promoting effective communication you should ensure that you have all the information on how the individual prefers to communicate, and to be very aware of the environment, ensure there are no distractions, for you or the service user.
The issue here is how to get the homeless people in-touch with those that can help them the most, this tends to lend itself to another drawback. The current system of social services in the United States is designed for people to come to them or make a phone call, ultimately those that may need it the most, the homeless traditionally will not have access to a phone or the bus to be able to get to a government entity. A plan will need to be devised as we move along with going directly out into the streets to ask the homeless directly if they need help and services, and to explain what may be available to them to help. Another possible solution is to set up kiosks in the most well-known homeless areas, this will alleviate some financial burden of trying to go person to person, and still try to be able to reach as many people as possible about helpful programs that are available to

Working with challenging adolescents can at times be extremely stressful, with this in mind Southern Adolescent Care Services offer an array of different support mechanisms. Formal supervision, staff meetings, and extensive training are all part of this process, counselling is also available in certain circumstances. However, probably the most important aspect is the continuous informal guidance and assistance available from colleagues and senior staff.

Fallon (2006) states it is important because certain guidelines have to be followed by the counselor during a session and when a client becomes involuntary this puts the counselor in a comprising position.
