In a family session, parents repeatedly call employers 'for' their adult child with a disability and cancel interviews when the client feels nervous, while urging the CRC to 'just motivate' the client alone. What should the counselor prioritize?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If the family keeps clearing the path, the client never learns to walk it. Enabling that cancels interviews maintains avoidance better than any pep talk can fix. The CRC needs family work that names the pattern and redistributes responsibility toward the client's own job search.
Full Explanation
When family behaviors maintain vocational avoidance—such as over-calling employers or canceling interviews—individual exhortation alone is insufficient. Family counseling interventions help members recognize enabling, set healthier boundaries, and support autonomous job-seeking. Addressing the systemic pattern is a Domain 3 priority rather than treating motivation as a purely individual deficit.
