As a counselor, how would you know that it is absolutely time to act on behalf of your client? Generally, counselors attempt to empower clients to care for their own problems by supporting client agency. However, in some cases clients may be stifled in their efforts to self-advocate. In other instances, clients may make dangerous, potentially lethal decisions out of misinformation or attempts to get high. Counselors should be prepared to identify warning signs that might indicate a need to make a move to protect a client beyond asking that she or he take the necessary steps.
