One of the responsibilities of a supervisor is to provide opportunities for professional development. In this assignment, you will play the part of a supervisor engaged in this very activity. There have been questions and disagreements lately about the planning and application of interventions for a variety of clients. Since your clinic has seen a recent uptick in clients suffering from various forms of depression or mood disorders, you decide to research and set up a presentation for a one-hour “lunch and learn” titled “Decision-Making in the Application of Interventions.”

Create a presentation that includes:

• Evaluate recent literature on best practices for treating major depression or other mood disorder.
• Describe any cutting-edge interventions.
• Finally, justify the decision to use that intervention based on:
  • Ethics.
  • Culture.
  • Diversity.
  • Finances.
  • Service availability.
  • Client preferences.
