It also addresses the client's coping strategies, such as unhealthy eating habits and seeking meaningful relationships. The assignment highlights the impact of past trauma, particularly sexual assault, on the client's identity, relationships, and emotional well-being, and how the FSS agency can provide support through counseling and trauma-informed care. The assignment is based on the provided client data form, client evaluation form, and client plan form, which are used to gather information and develop a comprehensive care plan, reflecting the student's understanding of the client's needs and the services offered by FSS.
