Hello, I hope this is the right forum for this question?
I'm studying community service/counselling. Is it ok to ask how we might deal with a situation where a client discloses they have warrants for driving under the influence of alcohol?
This theoretical case also involves multiple issues such as risk of homelessness and the possibly of a serious mental illness. I'm wondering about ethical and legal requirements in a situation like this, and the first course of action as a community service worker/counsellor who also needs to look after the client.
Also is this type of information available somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
