Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that African-American clients tend to terminate counseling earlier than other groups of people due to factors such as mistrust of the healthcare system and stigma surrounding mental health in their community. It is important for the group leader to be aware of this and work to build trust and rapport with Solomon to increase the likelihood of him staying in counseling.
