Resource Training Manual for Family Advocacy Case Management with Adolescents with Emotional Disabilities.
Ronnau, John; And Others
This training manual for social work practitioners is based on the Family Advocacy Model of Case Management, which states that case management with adolescents contains two important elements: work with the adolescent and work with those responsible for his/her care. This manual deals with the first of two elements and is designed to be used in conjunction with the companion "Training Manual for Family Advocacy In-Home Services," which explains work with adolescents' caregivers. The manual contains 19 units for trainees, each with objectives, activities, and background information. Units include, among others: description of the population to be served and the case management model; program objectives in terms of client outcomes, productivity measures, and staff morale; expectations of clients and case managers; role of the case manager; assessment through the life domains of family functioning; the goal setting process; action plans and monitoring; intervention strategies; the importance of relationship; affective involvement; key actors in the case management model; and making the most of group supervision. Appendices contain assessment tools (family's perspective form, collateral list and plan, youth's perspective form, and youth quality of life assessment); outcome monitoring tools (client contact record and goal planning form); client satisfaction measurement tool; staff morale tools (agenda for case discussions, worker's group supervision assessment, and supervisor's assessment of group supervision); a list of common characteristics exhibited by youth with emotional disabilities; and a statement of the educational rights of youth with emotional disabilities. Includes 17 references. (JDD)
