Case Study:

Client background:

• The Client is Grace Taylor, a 14 year old year 10 student.

Hobbies and personal interests:

• Sports (hockey and volleyball)

Why do they need a change to their lives?

• Grace needs this intervention to help her cope with high levels of stress, resulting from her lack of sleep and increased anxiety.

What are their goals?

• Short term
  • To relieve stress, and to gain a greater understanding of her mind.
• Long term
  • To feel happier and healthier

Any other relevant information about the client?

• Grace has trouble sleeping, which causes stress and anxiety

What are our initial ideas/inquiry question?

• How do stress levels impact mental health?

What interventions could we introduce to our client?

• We will be looking at interventions including
  • Sleep
  • Relaxation
  • Reflection
  • Stress relief
  • Exercise

What is the most thought provoking thing we have discovered so far?

• That many people define mental health problems as sever cases of depression and anxiety, but disregard the smaller problems such as stress and sleep deprevation.

What is the plan from here?

• To find out more about the client and create an intervention tailored to her.
