Structured Counseling Offerings

ALL PARTICIPANTS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Because we know and respect that Every person's time is valuable and effort is made in good faith, we want to make sure that ALL participants as well as potential participants in the KMCSRO process Clearly and coherently comprehend as well as AGREE to the structure of the KMCSRO process as well as the personal as well as collective expectation standards for each person involved is and will remain to be throughout the service offerings duration.

​

Immediately below you will fin our FOUR "Green Rule Standards". Reason being is because to KMCSRO they are of the most absolute of importance as far as ensuring the service offerings are of beneficial success as far as achieving their overall goal is concerned, whatever it may be. Please be sure that you comprehend and AGREE to respect them before proceeding forward with seeking and participating in the KMCSRO process.

            Immersing involving engaging beyond Scope

A common problem for the beginning therapy is to no have clear coherent boundaries set between All participants as to what Specific type of counseling services are being offered as a service for the participant(s).

 

 Counseling providers can  easily become overly involved with the participant(s) and so it is extremely vital that clarification as to the type of service offering whether it is personal of a group service. Individual counseling services can include additional family members or other inter-personal  associates at some point but the degree is far less in-depth than a family counseling service offering would, and should it prove to be the case as the sessions progress, then he provider should at that point suggest they consider the option of pursuing our family counseling service offering separate from an individual counseling service offering revealed, so to preserve the initiating participant's desire for individual counseling services and sessions. 

 

However, which ever the case and scope may be, should the provider realize this and try to panic and withdraw when they instinctively emotionally respond,  can become distant and cold which detriments the sanctity of the service offering, so we highly recommend that the provider take the situation o our Elder council as soon as such a boundary is believed to have been crossed for instruction and guidance. rather than to simply disconnect themselves from the service offering,

 

Usually the council will call for immediate remedy action, which includes a third party advocate as well as for the provider to gently try to join in with the family once a calamity is attained from the third party mediator, earning their true respect by showing sincerity of effort and action to preserve the progress  goal and assure  trust to build rapport is an important essential ingredient in the counseling process.

Not involving family members during sessions

Even though counseling offering sessions may involve multiple participants such as additional family members in the sessions, not all of the participants may be engaged during the session. This decision should be addressed and Respected by all participants including the provider. Sometimes, the therapist's own transference may hold back a member of the family in the sessions. Rather, it is recommended that the provider makes it clear that he/she is open to their presence and interactions, either verbally or non-verbally.

 

Whether one is a young student, or a seasoned individual provider, dealing with families can be intimidating as well as frustrating at times, but when positive progress prove successful, it is also very rewarding, the key is  knowing how to deal with them individually as well as collectively. This is why we have outlined certain challenges that one faces while dealing with families, especially when one is beginning counseling service offerings so that the provider as well as the participants comprehend that whether intentional or not, establishing a degree of such an inter-personal relationship is unavoidable and proves more successful when all involved embrace and strive for it to be in a good medicine way.

​

Communicating with the therapist outside sessions

Many families attempt to reduce tension by communicating with therapist outside the session, and beginning therapist are particularly susceptible for such ploys. The participant(s) may want to meet or converse with the provider outside the scheduled sessions by trying to influence the provider to push emphasis on their views and opinions above the other involved participants who would be inflicted should such happen.

 

Providers must refrain from allowing  such encounters and suggest discussing these issues openly during the scheduled sessions. Of course, rarely, there may be sensitive or very personal information that one may want to discuss in person that may be permissible which should be allowed by the provider privately prior to commencing or immediately after the scheduled session has taken place, depending on priority.

​

Additionally, each provider of KMCSRO have a direct email established specifically for the purpose of communicating outside of the sessions should such need to occur by any participant that KMCSRO will relay to them and we strongly Discourage personal contact or communications divert from this structure as it risks convolution of the service offerings progress and could cause trust issues and possibly even contribute in a breakdown in the counseling offering process which is contrary to the goal of all involved.
