I. The Professional

1. All New Counseling Staff has an interview with the Ship's Counselor, Deanna Troi. This usually involves an interview about why they feel they are qualified to take on this responsibility on, as well as a test of their qualifications (since most characters qualifications cannot be proven due to displacement.)

** -- This is all hand waved usually.
2. The New Counseling Staff will all report to Deanna Troi, and they will only be counseling the displaced members who are appearing on the ship. Not current crew and/or their families.

3. While Doctor-Patient Confidentiality still holds true, there will be record keeping on all patients. The only people with access to these files will be The Counselors and, if the need arises, The Senior Staff. Where needed the The New Counseling Staff may work in tandem with both The Senior Staff and any/all medical staff under Dr. Crusher.

4. Any issues brought up in a sessions with a patient that reveals any danger toward the patient, the crew, or the ship, will be reported to Counselor Troi immediately. She will assess the level of the treat and whether it needs to be taken directly to Captain Picard.

5. At least in the beginning, there are weekly Counseling Meetings of Deanna & Her Staff. This is to check-in, see that they are settling well, and to discuss any matters that come up. Eventually, this will probably be reduced to 1-2 a month only. (These will be hand-waved or written at the discretion of the Counseling Writers, too.)

II. The Personal

Deanna is a very social and aware person, who wants her staff to be able to to do the best and be at their individual best. In the hopes of forging them into a strong group that believes they can rely on each other, she'll, also be hosting small things for them occasionally. A group dinner once month, or a poker game, or a relaxing outting on the holodeck.

She likes to be sure that these people she's hired are adjusting just as much as those they are helping -- especially because they are in the exact situation as the people they are helping with the additional strain of now helping any number of people, in any number of situations, dealing with that, as well.

(Sometimes the dinners might be hand-waved, but every 2-3 months, as group we'll probably pick one of the more fun options and toss the group together for something. For greater AC and wonderful CR of the characters together. Because we're definitely here to have fun, as much as help everyone else. As all of these character will all be doing hard work, they deserve rewards for their hard work just as much.)
