Divorced parents of an adult client disagree about guardianship and demand the CRC take sides in a custody-style conflict. What is the best mediation-oriented response?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Family warfare over guardianship isn't a place for the CRC to play referee with a gavel. Stay in scope—support the client's voice, cool the conflict where you can, and send legal fights to the right forum.
Full Explanation
Conflict resolution in case management includes mediating interpersonal barriers that impede rehab progress while respecting scope of practice. Guardianship and legal decision-authority disputes often require referral to legal or advocacy resources rather than counselor adjudication. The CRC centers the adult client's rights and informed participation within ethical and legal boundaries.
