I made a follow up through the phone  with a client who was having transport issues to get to his local hospital to see various specialist.

He communicated to me that he was still facing the same challenges and that his family were unable to assist in the matter.

I told him that I had communicated with the local community transport group and they were happy to assist him with the issue as long as he contacts them and make early arrangements by providing details of dates and time of his appointments at  the hospital.

The client agreed to it and assured me that he was going to get into contact with the local community transport group in the next few days.

I also reminded him of our next meeting which is scheduled for next week 

 

According to her feedback, she Stated that she had a number of involvements with other agencies over the years, some of which she seemed OK about, some of which seems to have acted as negative reinforcement.

Client Stated "she feels that everyone else seems to be in control of her life except her". She also stated that her parents and boyfriend have been 'giving her grief' about her using drugs. She also informed that 🤬 is her current drug of choice and that her use is limited to weekends because of financial restraints.

Client Stated that weekends are 'fairly heavy' and that she is struggling to get through the week. I have explained her policy regarding AOD use on these premises. I also explained that she will have to leave the program if she uses drugs on the premises, she agreed to it.
