Unit 8 Single Parents

Select a special population that was not in the Reading. Conduct research so that you can explain the characteristics of the population, common needs, and strategies for providing effective case management services.

Once you have conducted your research, write a hypothetical client scenario that includes:

  • Name of client, age, gender, educational status, living situation, marital status.
  • Presenting problem (case management related) and explanation of how the client ended up in the current situation.
  • List of needs prioritized so that the most immediate are first.
  • Brief explanation of the client’s special needs (population) and treatment obstacles.
  • At least two referrals (choose a city different than where you live for practice) to meet those needs

Remember to focus on the client’s membership in the special population. The presenting problem, needs, obstacles and referrals should be appropriate to the special need of the client.
