Treatment Plan Sarah is a 13-year-old female junior high school student. Sarah's mother has visited your counseling office at Sarah's school and shared her concern for her daughter with you. Sarah's grades at school are falling rapidly, she avoids social interaction with her peers, and even her closest friends have begun to avoid her due to her lack of interest and negative responses. Her mother reports reoccurring fits of anger and acting out at home. Positive communication between mother and daughter is nonexistent. Sarah is overweight and has a poor complexion. Her mother reports poor hygiene habits and shares with you that six months ago Sarah's father disappeared and within a week was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Why might you consider Sarah a good candidate for group counseling? What do you see as the potential advantages and disadvantages of such interaction for Sarah? Describe the type of group that would potentially serve Sarah best. What are your ethical concerns for placing Sarah in a group counseling environment? Oftentimes, group members discover an even greater disruption in their lives as they progress through the group experience. What types of challenges might Sarah encounter? How can you, as her counselor, hope to mitigate the impact of such outcomes? What are your legal and ethical concerns in this regard, if any? Why do you feel that Sarah is ready for the honest open communication that is expected in group counseling environments? How might you assist her in becoming more communicative? Group pressure to conform and scapegoating are common components of group counseling experiences, especially among teenagers. How might you prepare Sarah for such events? As the group's leader, what will be your plan to reduce potential risks to the group's members, and what will be your expectations for responsibility and commitment from each group member? What steps will you take to encourage and contribute to such behavioral outcomes? Your Final Project should include a cover page, introductory paragraph, citations, concluding paragraph and reference page. It also should be free of spelling and grammatical errors. The body of the work should be 4- 6 double-spaced pages
