Given his unfortunate circumstances Romeo has gain the strength to over come his personal up hill battle in life and seek help. Although he has had to bought suicidal attempts he found the strength to have the will to live and disclose his difficulties to a human service professional. Another example of his strength is his openness about his dark past where he talks about his drug uses, gang affiliation, lack of ambition and lastly his attempt of his life.
The way you apply appropriate intervention by using the example of Romeos strengths is he has the will to live after all the hardships he has Endured. For example he is a 19 year old young man who is homeless and not close to his family, marijuana user, and suicidal. Never the less, he has come forward to seek help and guidance from a professional to get him out of his personal rut. This in of its self is an example of how Romeo’s life story can be used for appropriate interventions.

What goals would you want to work the client on based on the information available? Explain why you chose those goals and how you think they will help meet the client's needs. Tip: remember that goals are different from case tasks and referrals you might make to benefit the client and their situation.

The goal I would want to work with Romeo on is the long-term goal for him to be no longer suicidal. The way to achieve this most important goal for Romeo would be for him, firstly to get a job, secondly get some sort of education thirdly find a place of his own and lastly reconnect to his family. The reason I chose these goal is because is would make him satisfied with his life and make him a more balanced individual in order to never want to hurt him self ever again.

    I first knew Romeo as a little boy, who was born into a family that was involved in a harsh, long-lasting feud with the Capulet household. As Romeo grew older, I served as a mentor to him. He would often come to see me to talk about his problems with me and it was through these conversations that we became friends. I started to teach him to disregard the conflict between his family and the Capulets, and to always gain new friends, not enemies. Romeo really took these lessons and tried to use them in his life and apply them to the lives of overs as well. Romeo turned out to become a polite, kind, and caring young man who showed compassion to all those people around him, whether they be Montague or not. Romeo was never really into the fighting that was going on between the houses, instead he would rather try make peace with the Captulets so that there would be no more of the violence.…

    William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet is without doubt one of the most well-known love story. Throughout the five acts of the play, one tragedy follows another, with the famous suicide of Romeo and Juliet as a tragic conclusion. Throughout the play, it may seem that Romeo caused these events to unfold, however it is unjust to say that he bears all responsibility for the tragedy. The decisions, actions and circumstances that other characters made and faced have also contributed to the tragic outcome. Nevertheless, it is also in the hands of fate that destined the immature deaths of Romeo and Juliet…

    In the play Romeo and Juliet, written by the great William Shakespeare, two “star crossed lovers” in the roman city of Verona take their lives for the sake of love. So they say, but many question if Romeo and Juliet were truly in “love”. Did they fall for each other for their looks or for their hearts? Each character had to make huge decisions through the story, that later caused more problems to bring them to their downfall. If I was put into Romeos shoes I would have taken a different path from suicide, anger, and drama. I have chosen three major decisions that Romeo made in the story that could have been handled completely differently.…

    I first met Romeo when he was just a little child, born in a society absorbed in hatred. Romeo had a good life but was lonely. His parents did not have the time or energy to look after him and show him the attention he deserved. I often saw him wondering the streets at night misbehaving. Once I saw him steal a loaf of bread of his best friend Benvolio. As Benvolio treated him with insults, I came along and paid for that loaf of bread and took him back to my cell to teach him some life lessons.…

    For Egan's first stage I think the strengths that I have in counselling would be that I explained to the client about the contract and confidentiality that is included into the contract that is kept between the counsellor and the client and so with this I was able to use this to be able to show the client that this is a professional relationship and so this is explains the guidelines of what is going to happen between the counsellor and client within the sessions and outside of sessions if contact is needed. This is a strength because the client will think that I am professional because we need to go through the contract first before the starting of any sessions so then they know what is going to happen in the sessions that they are having. It would also be a strength because if I did not explain the contracting at the start of the session then the client would not know what the counsellor does about contacting, name, address, and also if they have been referred here by their GP and explain to them if they need more specialised help and so they would explain at the start if the counsellor would have to refer their client onto someone more specialised so this would be a client that might have drinking or drugs problems and so they would need to explain first that they might refer later on in the sessions and the warning of sending them on.…

    William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, is known as the most romantic love story to have ever existed. This love story is centered on the romance that sparks suddenly between the two main characters at first glance, and all the tragedies that take place in order to prevent them from being truly together. It is a story following the struggle they face, and how they’re star-crossed love never truly blossoms. It is quick pace, and filled with action, and various accumulated factors lead to the tragic end of the play, but the greatest one would be the decision the characters make. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet, Tybalt, and Romeo, are the characters that are most the most responsible for the tragic outcome of the play.…
