Recap and Questions

Applying the ALSR model – Case #2
During the last 2 weeks you have noticed some marked changes in Danika’s behaviour and appearance. She seems very tired and quite withdrawn. She answers many of your questions with one-word responses; this is a marked change from her typical behaviour. She also seems to be much less engaged and responsive to your suggestions. She has also not been following through with her homework commitments. At today’s meeting, Danika becomes visibly upset and tearful for no apparent reason.
Discussion:
Where is Danika on the Mental Health Continuum?
How would you apply the ALSR model?
How would you adapt your mentoring approach based on the signs or cues you notice in Danika?
