Brief Description: Due to the chicken and egg dilemma surrounding co-occurring disorders, for years researchers have faced the challenge of what to treat first, in other words identifying the main issue. Now after twenty years and being given the title of an evidence-based practice, researchers have come up with a holistic approach in treating co-occurring disorders. Researches coined this evidence-based practice as integrated treatment, which is basically a marriage between health and mental health services/treatment/interventions.

Smith and me to meet without Clark present. I took this time to share with him my other concerns and what I would do to follow up when Clark returned from his suspension. As previously mentioned, Clark has had a difficult time making friends. Clark also comes from a broken home environment and is living in two different locations throughout the course of each week. I offered to provide Christian counseling for Clark. My school is fortunate enough to have two counselors on staff. While Clark may have things working against him, I assured Mr. Giffin that God does have a plan for his grandson and that we are happy to partner with him to help see that plan fulfilled (Jeremiah. 29:11). We agreed that Clark would meet with one of our counselors once a week for the next two months. We also agreed to have Clark join an eighth grade boys group. This boys group meets every Wednesday during lunch. The purpose of this group is to help participants who may have difficulty making friends to be able to establish some healthy friendships. Some of the participants are not in need of this support, but are asked to participate as a means of helping those who do. None of the participants know this underlying fact, but are aware that they have been asked to attend in order to help make more friends. During the group time, participants share in a devotional led by the guidance counselor and spend time getting to know each other. Mr. Giffin and I

Hello everyone! Welcome to our first meeting for the production of “A Solid Home”. I am very excited about what we can create together and I want us to be able to get started right away. For this production, our guiding concept is going to be “Death can be livelier than life.”

The way the church members greeted me made me feel so comfortable I felt like I already knew them. Choir members had smiles on their face, gave out hugs, and told me stay afterwards for a gift. About ten minutes after greeting all the visitors, Pastor Kay walked in and began to give us the word of God. He told us to turn our Bible to (Phillipians 2:15) which states: “Ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.”. Pastor Kay looked at everyone with a

It had actually been his idea to hold these late day sermons and they had proven popular. Abby had been seeing faces that had not graced this chapel in quite some time.

Finally, the pastor dismissed the church and the family started home. As they went through the vestibule, the boy asked, "Daddy, what's that plaque say?"

Because the congregation and the community were close knit and had a small inner circle, this couple’s problems were exposed to great gossip and scrutiny. The people were always talking about the couple’s problems. I never reacted to the conversation, but the information gave me insight into ways I could approach subsequent sessions. When were in session, I listened first as a facilitator before moving into the counselor position. As an adult educator, I had thirty-two years of facilitating, and I felt I have it down to a science. I found that I had unknowingly used Webb’s tool book categories. He explained that knowledge dealt with the mental modes needed for understanding the person(s) as a usable therapeutic process. He addressed the need for the pastor to have some good in-depth listening skills, perception in story listening, and be able to respond to situations that may arrive suddenly.

As I look back on my experience in caring for my congregation, I see where I have used all these tools in a counseling section. Webb’s book has helped me define my actions and confirm their usage.
