What are our initial ideas/inquiry question?
How can we intervene with our clients alcohol health to prevent alcohol impelled complications?
What interventions could we introduce to our client?
- Using scare techniques
- Education
- Substitutions
- Progressive decrease in amount of drinks consumed every week
- Setting a schedule
- Changing the type of alcohol intake, to make it a good factor in health
What is the most thought provoking thing we have discovered so far?
The most though provoking things I have discovered so far is that alcohol can cause high blood pressure. Therefore, there may be other long-term effects that may occur.
What is the plan from here?
A 6 week plan consisting partially of education interventions and physical interventions. The education intervention will be composed of health scares and what a high alcohol intake can do to your mental, social, physical and emotional aspects of your life. Also, the physical intervention will focus on how alcohol can impact your appearance and how it can hinder the client from performing well physically. Altogether, both the education and physical interventions will synthesise to help the client to live a healthy lifestyle.
