CHCCCS014 Project: Assessment of Brief Interventions in Healthcare

This document is a project assessment for the CHCCCS014 unit, focusing on providing brief interventions. The project requires students to outline the scope and process of a brief intervention, including features, reasons for use, the step-by-step process, and record-keeping requirements within a chosen organization. The assessment further requires the identification and summarization of two approaches to support behavior change, such as short-term family therapy, and the discussion of strategies. The project emphasizes the importance of understanding the client's situation, building trust, and using various intervention strategies to promote positive changes. It highlights the significance of confidentiality, accurate record-keeping, and adapting interventions to meet the client's needs. This project is designed to evaluate the student's knowledge and skills in providing brief interventions, covering the key elements of assessment, intervention strategies, and record-keeping practices within a healthcare context.
