Wk 4 - Summative Assessment: Resource Guide for Client - 170 points When working with clients, it is important for clinicians to approach treatment using appropriate needs assessments and evidence-based counseling practices. Referrals come from evaluating your organization's programmatic strengths and gaps in services that may be necessary to meet the unique needs of clients, which can best be obtained by conducting a client's needs assessment. Clinicians must critically consider the referral sources used for their client populations; it is important to ensure the referral source engages in evidence-based practices that are ethically and culturally appropriate to fit the needs of the client. Create a 1- to 2-page resource guide for clients that is based on the populations represented at your placement site. List the names and contact information (address, phone number, and website, if applicable) of at least 2 resources from each of the following categories: ⚫ Local referral sources (psychiatrist, psychological testing, mental health facilities, specialty areas of counseling) • State and national referral sources (hotlines, crisis stabilization, inpatient) Support groups (diagnosis-specific) Virtual resources (apps, informational websites) Activities and interventions
