Developing Service Plan Goals for a Member of a Special Population

The Portfolio Project demonstrates your ability to apply knowledge of the case management experience in human services by synthesizing the information from the readings, class work, scholarly sources, and students’ work and life experiences. The purpose of this project is to integrate human service needs with evidence-based interventions and to apply both to a fictitious human service setting and population. In this assignment, you are asked to complete a service plan, using the service plan template provided (located under this assignment in Module 8), for a client with multiple needs. Directions Client A: Jerry, a 29-year-old African American male. Jerry presents with difficulty finding a job. Jerry has some developmental delays and a learning disorder. He is dyslexic. He recently lost his best friend, Roger, in a car accident. Jerry has been using alcohol daily to cope with his feelings of grief and loss. Jerry does not have a car and lives with his mom who often provides transportation to his doctor visits and job interviews. Jerry’s mother believes he is being discriminated against by prospective employers because of his race, disability, and past legal involvement. Thoroughly identify at least four case management needs of the selected client in your service plan. Develop a list of strategies and interventions based in research to treat the case management needs of this client. Include a summary of at least three different interventions. Incorporate at least one scholarly journal article to provide support for your descriptions. (Hint: The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find your resource!) Distinguish between direct interventions and care coordination/advocacy that will be used in the treatment of this case management client. Identify and distinguish among the distinct roles of the case manager and client in your service plan. Address cultural considerations in treating the population in need. Describe and address ethical considerations applied in the case management treatment of this population. Additional Requirements: Discuss and cite a total of at least three scholarly sources (including the citation requirement noticed above in #3), other than assigned readings for this course, to support your analysis and positions. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find scholarly sources. For any references used, include a list at the end of your service plan, as a separate reference page. Cite your sources in APA format.
