Assessment description
Reducing restrictive interventions has been a major focus in mental health over the past 10 or so years and remains a mental health priority. Restrictive and coercive practices are well understood to result in disengagement and a lack of trust with mental health services. This can result in reduced adherence to treatment and poorer outcomes for consumers.
This assessment provides you with an opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge of the theories that underpin clinical practice. More specifically, you will construct knowledge about individual care needs, care planning and care implementation, as well as evaluating different strategies that are both safe and conducive to quality recovery-oriented mental health care.
Assessment details
In the format of an essay, critically examine the ways in which personal choice and individual preference can be integrated into mental health care with a consumer experiencing a severe mental illness (SMI). Your response should include the effective use of one (1) evidence-based therapeutic communication strategy which promotes self-determination, whilst also strengthening engagement in treatment.
The table below provides you with guidance on each section of your essay. Your essay should adhere to academic writing standards. It is recommended to use this guidance in conjunction with the assessment rubric to understand how your essay will be assessed and graded.

2.Body
Fully develop your response to the essay prompt and present the evidence and literature that is being used to support it.
Break the essay prompt down. Consider, how do coercive practices impact on people with SMI in terms of their engagement with treatment? How does personal choice improve/impact outcomes? Discuss a therapeutic communication strategy that promotes self-determination and enhances engagement.
It is important to apply critical thinking to findings.
Do not overthink the communication strategy. As an example, you may choose to explore the motivational interviewing element of therapeutic communication, or active listening.

Avoid quotes where possible, and instead paraphrase information, unless you come across a lived experience quote that is impossible to put into your own words.
Note: It is important that credible, contemporary primary sources (less than five years old) are used throughout this evidence-based discussion.
