Brief Service
Quality Improvements for all Counselling Services • The creation of a sexual abuse handbook for clients of the Sexual Abuse Counselling program. • The use of POMS on Nucleus for the creation of case plans with clients. The clinicians reported that this is an easier way to incorporate the client goals onto Nucleus. • In an effort to more readily engage with clients on the family counselling waitlist (as per feedback that we’ve received from clients and stakeholders), our ‘intake day’ clinics are proving helpful. • Based on client needs and feedback from the clinicians, a few technological tools for measuring neuro and bio-feedback have been purchased for the team.
