Provide an assessment of the ways individual and cultural identities, dimensions of diversity, privilege and oppression, may influence their mental health challenges. Identify your own values, beliefs, biases, and attitudes that may influence your work with the client.
Briefly discuss how you will monitor your reactions, cognitions and feelings toward the client(s)/client system, and how you plan to process these during supervision. If you are not working directly with a client or are not observing clients see the instructor for alternative options.

A genogram or eco-map of the client must be contained. Identify the primary issue to be addressed.
Based on the identified issue, conduct and write a literature review. Explore the range of issues and challenges (micro and macro) that may exist. Identify and discuss 2-3 possible intervention models that could be used with your client(s).

Literature must be used to support your decisions of issues to be addressed and interventions considered. Select 1 intervention model to be used, summarize your client, the primary issues and provide a rationale for the selection of the intervention model
