Case Study 3

 

Dan Smith is 17 years old and has just served a 2-year sentence at a Youth Justice Centre.  He is on release.  A case management plan needs to be developed to assist Dan with integration to the community and resuming his education and training.

 

Issues:

• Currently living in a halfway house which is only available for the next two months. 
• He has lost touch with friends and family
• His family refuse to support him financially
• Not employed
• At risk of re-using drugs and alcohol

 

You will form pairs and conduct a case management meeting in class.  During this meeting, you will:

1.         Facilitate information sharing with the client and establish an appropriate rapport

2.         Identify and agree on roles, responsibilities, boundaries and service delivery

3.         Determine and agree on needs and goals

4.         Discuss the impact of legislative and statutory requirements on the client, agency and significant others (including privacy and confidentiality).
