Mild Depression: Emery Morgan
Virtual PatientIn this simulation activity, learners will participate in a counseling program with Emery Morgan, who is experiencing bouts of sadness and frustration with their current situation in life, leading to mild depression. Emery has struggled with identity and feeling like an outsider, and is now feeling like their life is meaningless. The simulation will provide learners with the opportunity to practice counseling skills and techniques to help Emery find a sense of purpose and reconnect with their identity beyond their gender. Learners will work with Emery to develop coping mechanisms, set goals, and establish a plan to move forward. This simulation is designed to help learners develop the skills and confidence needed to work with clients facing depression and other mental health challenges, including communication, goal-setting, and coping mechanisms. By practicing real-world scenarios in a safe and supportive environment, learners will be better prepared to provide quality care to clients in their future counseling careers.
