Problem:
Donna is facing many different challenges at the time being. She is facing unemployment, no financial resources, unstable housing, little family support, no childcare, no transportation, feelings of stress and isolation on top of leaving an abusive relationship. Some open ended questions can be: "Donna, looking at your current situation what do you feel is the most pressing issue that we should address first? "What are some of your strengths in your life?" "Donna, what would a successful outcome look like for you?" "Workers using these questions are not perceived as prying but as expressing real interest in other people or a genuine desire to understand their situation" (Summers, 2024 pg.185). During the assessment we want to ensure that we are collaborating with the client and not just make decisions for them. "Self-determination involves the person's right to direct his care and to determine the elements that will go into the service plan"(Summers, 2024 pg.235). Case managers must allow the client to create the plan with guidance from them. They should provide information about her choices and the consequences that could from them, which allows her to make educated choices.
