Reflection on Mr. Brown and Ms. Moore Cases
My SWCC team has played significant roles to ensure that Marvin Brown and Sara Moore received proper assistance. In particular, Mr. Brown presented himself to us and stated that he wanted to get his life together. Initially, he experienced nightmares and depression that altered his sleeping patterns and made him combine alcohol, sleeping pills, and antidepressants. Ms. Moore came to us since she felt like she was sinking into depression after losing her job as a loan officer at a financial institution and using her savings to almost depletion. Her job loss made it hard for her to pay for her therapy sessions and buy the right medications. My team has done an excellent job of helping these two clients overcome the majority of their problems before the time of discharge.
Advantages of Working and Sharing Information as a Team
Teamwork is strength. The SWCC staff comprised of a financial specialist, substance abuse counselor, registered nurse, mental health counselor, and education and career counselor. In that light, when the above specialists met with Mr. Brown and Ms. Moore, the primary focus was on helping them in different ways so that they can get their lives back to normal. The reason why I stated that teamwork is a strength is that one person would not have helped these clients in distinctive areas, such as financial management and substance abuse counselor. Each member of the SWCC team played significant roles in ensuring that Mr. Brown and Ms. Moore received the help they needed. In particular, the importance of working as a team and sharing the information is that one might get new information about the client that might facilitate change quickly.

In that case, the substance abuse counselor can work together with the financial specialist to help Ms. Moore secure a job. By doing so, the client will get money and afford therapy and the right medications. As such, working as a team promotes effective problem-solving since different specialists have unique strengths and suggestions on how an issue should be addressed successfully.
Teamwork Improvements
My SWCC team of professionals worked together and communicated effectively to ensure that Ms. Moore and Mr. Brown fulfilled their goals. However, my team's success was significantly contributed to the individual efforts of specialists involved in the entire process. For example, every person involved shared their ideas and opinions to ensure that a particular client got maximum help. Even though my team performed well, there is room for improvement and here are the things that would facilitate excellent performance in the future. First, all professionals should provide their reports after meeting the client on time. If some specialists fail to compile their client’s analysis, they might hinder the entire team to get information of a critical issue that should be addressed immediately. For instance, if the financial specialist failed to indicate the Ms. Moor...
