She seems very detached, numb, and unmotivated, reported from the doctor's office. What kind of approach may you take to talk with her, as well as what kind of resources may you phone?
Isla's situation was incredibly traumatic. She lost her son, and she's unsure about the state of her husband. The last thing she wants to do is sitting down and discussing new goals. It is our job to empathetically approach, and express true sincerity about how she is doing, as well as an apology for her situation. Though it says we should be doing an assessment, we may need to assess her mental state and call social workers, psychologists, and other family to get her to a point to even want to do treatment. As for screening, find out as much info as you can, but remember, her mind is simply not in it. Focus on bare minimum what she needs, and then work on higher goals. Don't be afraid to ask for help!
