Healthy coping module
Use of the psychosocial scales as screening tools
We recommend that the screening tools contained in this module (Who-5 and PAID) be used as appropriate in a one to one interview where you can make an assessment about the person’s wellbeing and provide initial counselling and support around the outcomes of the scales. You can determine suitability to continue onto to a group program and/or refer for specialised counselling where needed. You may like to wait until you have a number of clients who you feel may benefit from a group and then offer this to them. You may decide to run a number of different groups – for example you discover a number of people with similar issues who may work well in one group. There could then be a second group with different issues or concerns.
