1 Process Recording Student Walden University Process Recording Client Information/ Presenting Issue Client is a 16-year-old Hispanic and African American male from Jacksonville, Fl. He lives with his mother and has a younger sister. His step father and mother are divorcing. The daughter is the step father’s child and will be living with him, while client stays with his mother. He joined the dentention center due to charges of substance use/diagnosis/ possession and theft. I joined therapist, Mr. Sanchez in an individual session to follow up on a suicide precaution assesment. Right now Client is on a one to one precaution where staff signs off that he is okay every 30 minutes. Mr. Sanchez is meeting with him to see if he needs to be taken off or continue to be watched. During this session the client displayed symptoms of depression over the choices that he has made in the past. He is afraid that his step father doesn’t love him any more due to these choices and the present circumstances at home. Also during the session he switched his answer when asked if he continued to have thoughts of suicide. His appearance showed that he was either having a rough morning or a rough night. His eyes were red. Not the eyeballs, but his skin. This could possibly happen due to crying, rubbing, or lack of sleep. After analysing his responses and appearance, I believe that is was necessary to continue to keep a watchful eye on him.
