best practices, and current trends in human services
Project description
For the Unit 9 Assignment, you will synthesize your understanding of the theories, best practices, and current trends in human services to create a
case presentation that would be used during a staffing meeting/case conference in an agency. While most of these meetings are informal, many
agencies/organizations use a more formal approach. To prepare for this future job responsibility, you will create a paper that could be used during
one of these meetings. Use the paper structure below to organize the facts and recommendations for your hypothetical client.
Begin by deciding the type of agency and job that interests you, and imagine you are a professional working at this. (Note: The career planning
exercises you completed for the Units 1-8 Learning Space Blog will help you with this part of the Assignment.)
Next, create a hypothetical client or use one from a prior exercise in our class. Follow the suggested structure below for writing your paper. Add
relevant details and leave out minor ones that are not relevant to the clientas progress. While you will not be required to write papers for these
meetings, you will be required to report this type of information and to be organized and prepared. This exercise will assist you in developing a
case presentation for when you really will be making them.
Suggested Organization of Paper: use sub-headings to organize your information:
Client name and demographics (no sub-heading)
Presenting problem (sub-heading): What was the reason for the client enrolling in service at your agency? Be specific about the problem, but do not
add many extra details by atelling the clientas story;a just write a few sentences about the problem as the client perceived it.
Goal (sub-heading): What are the clientas main intervention/treatment goals? Be specific and add as many as you can think of that would relate to the
full scope of services that your agency might provide. However, remember that clients may want to limit their goals to three goals at a time or
fewer.
Needs (sub-heading): What other needs does your client have that others in your agency might be able to provide or assist in making referrals?
Crisis (sub-heading): Probably, your client is not currently in crisis, so you would simply report that the client is stabilized and there are no
ongoing crises for the moment. If your client is in the middle of a crisis, you would briefly describe it, only giving facts that are relevant.
Recommendations (sub-heading): This is the part of the paper (meeting) where you provide your professional opinion about the continued direction of
the clientas progress, ideas for future goals or strategies for helping the client, resource referrals, and any other suggestions that you have to
advance your clientas care. You will spend time using information from your past classes to support your recommendations, so make this one of the
longest sections of your paper.
