Scenarios : A few days after my second's cousin's mother passed away. I noticed that my second cousin’s mental health was deteriorating at a rapid rate. It was at this stage that I decided to put my feelings aside and help him. He had a close relationship with his mother, her sudden death may have triggered something in him that led to his sudden mental state mind. Our conversation started well because I was empathetically with him and my approach was that of a concerned relative and not a professional. My second cousin took it as an attack and analyze on himself as a man. Secondly, I advised him to seek professional help for how he was feeling about the loss of his mother and get help in dealing with those emotions so that he did have to do on his own. I also suggested that he speaks to a friend, an elder or a church pastor if he felt that there was no one he could not talk in the family. My second cousin accused me of calling him weak, insane and unfit. However, that did not bother me at all because call I wanted was for him to seek help to avoid a break down because that where he was heading with his alcohol abuse, increase pain killers intake and abuse of sleeping pill. I could not stay silent and watch what he was doing to himself that’s why I decide to have this conversation with him. He got angry and defensive and called me all sorts of names. I was hurt and decided I will never talk to him again but at the back of my mind, I knew he needed help and I could not help myself. I asked to myself; what should I do?. Thus, I continued checking up on him and talking about other things not relating to his mental concerns. Were you able to practice the skills explored in class and did they make a difference? Do you think you are communicating effectively? Describe if your practice attempts were effective or not, providing the evidence that supports your statements with examples of the exact phrases/skills you used and how they responded. How do you think your communication style will impact relationships around you as a Health Care Assistant? Is there areas where you notice you could be more effective in improving relationship building and how would you change this.
