CHCCCS014 Provide brief interventions Assessment

Part 1

1. Using a case example of a person who is morbidly obese, Person A, who has accessed Indigo Community Services and Health Hub for assistance:
   1. Name and describe each of the four stages of change from the stages of change model
   2. Provide an example of how Person A might behave if they are at each of these stages of change.
2. For each of the items below:
   1. Describe how the following approaches in brief intervention practice may benefit the client seeking assistance
   2. Provide an example of the approach being used in a situation with a community/health service client.

3. Brief interventions can be used in a broad range of health-related circumstances as a tool to assist in supporting and maintaining a desired change or outcome.
   In each of the four areas below, provide an example of how a brief intervention could assist a client in achieving a personal behaviour change goal.

Each answer should:

• identify the issue to be addressed
• list the actions
• list the relapse risks
• list the relapse management strategy

4. Behaviour can be influenced by a range of factors, such as culture, family situation and the community that a person lives in.
   Using the topic of alcohol use to frame your answer, provide examples of how each of these factors could influence a persons decision to consume, use heavily, or abstain from alcohol.

5. Brief interventions can be an effective mechanism to help individuals change behaviours; however, not all interventions are successful for various reasons.
   List three challenges clients may face as they approach a behaviour change and identify how these barriers could be addressed.
