Introduction
Domestic violence is usually regarded as an act of Human right Violation, within a domain where love and trust should always prevail. It is a common challenge that might happen to any relationship. Domestic violence has a devastating effect on the health and the lives of the affected individuals and also on their children (Smith & Segal, 2014). There are many ways in which to get assistance if such a case happens to someone known to you like in the case of Isaiah discussed below.
Isaiah’s physical, emotional and monetary needs
Physically Isaiah is in need of housing because he has been restrained from visiting his girlfriend’s home. That forces him to spend the night on the sofa of a friend which is not very comfortable. To make matters worse, Isaiah has a two weeks deadline to vacate his friend's home and look for an alternative place. He is therefore in serious need of a temporary home where he can rest during the night (Smith & Segal, 2014). Emotionally Isaiah needs peace of mind because he has so many things to handle which seem to have overwhelmed him. His mind is in a state of confusion following the dispute with his girlfriend and furthermore he has never been arrested before and hence the current situation has left him more confused.
In terms of monetary needs, Isiah has been separated from his girlfriend and parents and hence requires money to facilitate his basic needs like food. He also needs money to hire a house after he finishes two-week ultimatum is his friend’s house. He can’t get the money from his employee since he has been absent for two days without permission, and hence risks being suspended and losing the payment for the whole week (Smith & Segal, 2014). That limits Isaiah's accessibility to money that he needs to survive while undergoing eight-week counselling session.
Three challenges Jane will face while working with Isaiah

Already Isaiah is convinced from what her mother told him that counselling is for mad people. The belief is likely to hinder Isaiah from embracing the counselling sessions for fear that he might be stigmatized as being crazy by the society. The fear may make hence make counselling have less impact in solving the psychological problems Isaiah is facing (Simon, 2011). That implies Jane will have a hard time convincing Isaiah to have a positive attitude towards counselling so that he can benefit.
The second challenge Jane will face while working with Isaiah will be to provide for his necessities. Isaiah is only 24 years meaning he is still in his early years of employment and hence has not yet saved a meaningful amount of money to assist him while undergoing the counseling sessions (Simon, 2011). Since his arrest has separated him from work, it means Jane will need to make arrangements on how he will survive.
The third challenge Jane will face while working with Isaiah is to try as hard as possible to understand him. Isaiah being a young person has no experience of life issues and, therefore, would shy away from tel...
