**Discussion Overview**
· Please describe your experience in supporting clients with mental health concerns.
· Provide a description of your current position
· What mental health condition do you find challenging to work with? Explain why.
· What are the current barriers to promoting mental health? What health care policy do you recommend for overcoming the barriers?
· What measures will you incorporate as a PMHNP to promote equitable care to clients from different cultural or ethnic backgrounds?
· What are your strengths and weaknesses in interacting effectively with clients with mental health issues?
· What are your plans to become a confident PMHNP?
\*\*\********
Some notes to guide you—I can edit as needed.
My current position is working as AGPCNP in an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. I work with patients with co occurring disorders every day but right now my focus is on the medical issues. We have a team of psych providers that primarily work on the mental health part and we work together.
Psychosis is what I find most difficult to work with.
