Discuss concerns or skepticism at outset and throughout. “Shape” interaction with equipment by reinforcing verbalizations, use of remote, response to delay, etc. Consider having children or others who may be disruptive “skip” the first visit. Vocalize/ask about what you can’t see/hear. Reinforce patient responsiveness to atypical framework.

The State of New Mexico is importing its mental health services for the prison system from Indiana. What problems might be encountered from a therapeutic perspective? Can these be overcome? If so, how? If not, why?

Engage site visits at intervals. Consider focusing on one geographic area. Know as much as possible about client’s town/geographic area. Acknowledge needs while working toward increased cultural competence. Take action when clients are not responding well.
