2 Reflection While gathering information within my community for the specified clients, I began with resources I have become accustomed to using. I needed more than the prior knowledge for the hypothetical client-specific needs, but it aided my search as a starting point. As I started acquiring resources for the four distinct scenarios, I decided to begin uncovering resources for scenarios 2 and 4, as I have researched criteria like those listed. Afterward, I addressed scenarios 1 and 3, as I have yet to work with clients with similar specific needs. I felt as though while navigating and gathering information, there were times when I found myself navigating resources quickly and times in which I found myself challenged. I have been working in local Santa Barbara non-profits for approximately five years. Being a part of a small community and navigating resources throughout a pandemic has allowed me to uncover resources quickly. In looking for resources centered around mental health services, such as a BIPOC therapist and psychiatrist, I was extremely comfortable as I have previously located providers for myself and clients with similar criteria. I thought it went well, especially since both mental health providers were from the same agency. However, I feel it is essential to acknowledge that the providers have a lengthy waitlist considering the current need for mental health providers in the area. Furthermore, while navigating local community meetings, I have attended city council meetings, as information has influenced my current work with the community. Despite my knowledge of community resources, I did face challenges navigating resources specifically for the LGBTQ+ communities as I have not often provided services for individuals to this degree. I initially began my search for help for scenarios 1 and 3 with a local agency, Pacific Pride, focusing on serving LGBTQ+ communities in Santa Barbara County.
