Case Study #1
The Hearts in Hands Shelter is a halfway house for abused women who have left their husbands or partners. The shelter provides individual and group counseling, a job finding service, and other programs aimed at making the women independent. Women staying at the shelter must help with cooking, cleaning, and child care in order to continue living there.
Robin Covich is the newly hired nurse practitioner at the shelter. Ms. Covich has experience working with vulnerable populations; however, this is her first experience working with abused and battered women. She sees clients for acute problems in the shelter’s clinic and attends the group counseling meetings with the mental health nurse who leads the meetings.

Healthy Minds sees clients of all ages and socioeconomic levels who suffer with serious and persistent illnesses. In the beginning, Healthy Minds was a follow-up service for patients seen at Robertsville Psychiatric Hospital; however, services have expanded to reach all people in the community.
