Question:
From a counseling perspective and considering factors (functional limitations and possible barriers to work), formulate a treatment and/or employment plan for the situation.
Vivian is a 33-year old tax accountant with a CPA. She reports to your office for help with Major Depression. She explains that she was unable to maintain suitable employment after experiencing traumatic brain injury secondary to a motor vehicle accident 6 months ago. She reports that she feels hopeless now that chronic fatigue and impaired memory due to her injury have taken her out of a field of work and away from a team she loved. She is still participating in outpatient brain injury rehabilitation, and was recently referred to a vocational rehabilitation counselor to work on return to work options. Discuss functional limitations, vocational options, and steps in rehabilitation planning to assist Vivian to resume suitable employment.
