Description
Read the following case descriptions.
Assess the information you have about each person or family. Write your observations about each of the cases.
Decide which problems need to be worked on first, second, third, etc.
Find resources for each of these clients. Consider geographic location, cost, types of service, etc. List name, address, telephone number, and service provided for each resource the client needs.
Explain why you chose a particular service and how you came to that conclusion. Why was it appropriate? Where did you find out about it?
If you cannot find a service, you have discovered a “gap in services.” What kind of organization do you recommend to address the “gap in services” issue?
