1.1) The client’s name is Ashton. He has just moved from Cape Town to Johannesburg and is currently attending school at St. Benedict’s College in Bedfordview, where he resides in the school hostel until his mother can find the most suitable accommodation for him. He is in the final year of his schooling career (Grade 12), and is on a sports scholarship for rugby. He has a little brother, Paul, who is only in primary school. His mother, however, is still in Cape Town until such time that she is able to find employment in Johannesburg. She is a single parent and the family is now beginning to struggle financially after losing their main form of support: Ashton’s grandmother (who passed away due to breast cancer).

The lack of familiar faces around him would cause him to become lonely and slightly uncomfortable, especially if he is not popular amongst his peers. His family’s financial crisis only makes things worse, and would cause him to become worried and anxious. He would also feel despondent, because he wouldn’t be able to get the things that his peers around him have. He does not have his mother around anymore, and this is a big shock to his system, because he was probably used to always having her around to help him. Ashton is also extremely worried about his scholarship, as he needs to perform well academically in order to retain it. However, he cannot perform well if he is not meeting his deadlines and falling behind with work. Ashton’s procrastination is resulting in him not staying on top of his workload – so he stays up late to try and finish the work, but this will only result in him having a lack of sleep.
• Physical Stressor Symptoms: Ashton’s illness has resulted in him having headaches, nausea, tiredness and irritability issues. These are some of the classic symptoms of an individual suffering from distress.
• Emotional Stressor Symptoms: Ashton may still be mourning the loss his grandmother, because a death in the family can be both an emotional and a social stressor. This change in his environment may cause him to feel out

Feel free to make use of the weekly stress chart that I have attached at the bottom of this plan.
• Should the plan have no significant effect in reducing your stress levels, then we can look at alternative coping mechanisms to best suit your needs.
1. Talk to Someone – Whether it be me, your mother, a teacher, the hostel head or even the school counsellor. Just talking to someone about how you feel can be extremely helpful. A new set of eyes looking at your situation could help you see what the problem is and how you can solve it. Do not run away from your problems – this will only make things worse. Talk about your grandmother and your family’s financial situation with someone. It is not good to bottle up emotions, which is why it is imperative that you express them.
2. Identify What Your Stressors Are – In order to find solutions on how to manage your stress, we need to understand what triggers your stress. Then we can look at ways of managing it.

4.6- It is accepted that practitioners in health and social care settings can be affected by the stressful nature of the work. (Godden 2012) When discussing challenging situations with supervisees we need to ensure they feel supported and have received the necessary training such as DMI and have completed their induction. Ensure they understand they have to adhere to the behaviour management programs and relevant risk assessments. If a specific incident has occurred reflect with them the effects of events and consequences and actions that occurred, using the records of incidents, A B Cs and tick charts for reference if needed. Help them to understand how they might have caused and influenced events and work out the most effective way to handle

Diet and obesity are major contributors to health inconsistency, with the most deprived being most at risk. This is due to the poorest living in run-down areas with no reasonably priced nutritional food available from local shops. If they are unable to afford the costs of travelling to areas supplying this, or if they are time poor then cooking beneficial meals is difficult then they are more likely to buy cheap, fatty products. The involvement of the government in the population’s lifestyle means that they should be accountable for the effects that come alongside an unhealthy regime, such as an increase in health problems such as Coronary heart disease. This means that the treatment an individual receives shouldn’t be approached differently

Treatment One The first treatment plan is to reduce Adam’s fear of sleeping alone in a room at night by himself without his foster parents sleeping next to him. Foster parents state that even though he is scared to sleep alone, he does show great strength in being able to communicate effectively when he is scared at night. Of course he communicates by yelling for help, but at least he doesn’t sit in silence when he becomes scared. Being able to communicate is recognized as strength.
1. Even with our medical advances, the United States ranks 29th because of lack of health care for some individuals but also the lifestyle Americans have. Another reason is that class statuses correspond with our health outcomes. What I meant about this, is that lower and middle class individuals are exposed to more health threats than higher class. This is the connections between healthy bodies and healthy bank accounts and race/ethnicity.
