Sample input

I met with Client A for a scheduled follow-up after a workplace referral discussion. Client A arrived about 10 minutes late, spoke quietly, and said, "Everything changed again, and I can't keep up." Client A reported feeling overwhelmed after a schedule change and was unsure whether to speak with a supervisor. We discussed requesting written priorities, contacting the employee assistance program, and waiting until the next meeting before deciding. Client A wanted time to consider the options. I asked about immediate safety concerns. Client A reported no current thoughts of self-harm or harm to others. I didn't complete a broader formal risk assessment. I will send the program number by October 8, and we will meet again on October 15.
