LEARNER POST FOR RESPONSE: Mark Tucker, a person who must reintegrate back into society has some challenges ahead. There are perceptions that unfortunately, based on our history can create a barrier to our change. As a parolee, Mark Tucker can benefit from continued counseling to support his transition back into society. He can also benefit from the support of a case manager who can walk more closely with him as he encounters various barriers to reach employment, education and the other goals he desires. The case manager should be equipped with resources and offer assistance to Mark based on his identified needs. The case manager also should communicate with the counselor to remain on the same goal path for Mark, their client (Connors, G., DiClemente, C., Velasquez, M., and Donovan, D. ,2013). The case manager and counselor should be culturally competent and culturally sensitive as Mark not only is an African American male, he is also an ex-offender. The decisions decided by Mark along with the support of his case manager and counselor must consider his race and gender.

Standard I of the Code of Ethics of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) notes Responsibility to Clients. Standard 1.1 is Non-Discrimination states the therapist must provide a professional service to people without prejudice. They must not base their professional decisions due to the race, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, disability, health, religion, or relationship status (AAMFT, 2002). Along with the non-discrimination, the therapist must allow client autonomy in decision making meaning, the client has the ultimate power to determine what services or support they need. The therapist must allow the client to determine their own services after the needs have been identified. The client and therapist and other individuals who are closely associated to the client must work together in order to improve successful outcomes.
