ASSIGNMENT
Identify someone in need (a friend, family member, classmate, co-worker or individual from a place where you volunteer) and create a “Case Study” by providing information about your client as a whole person (not just their problem, but also their likes, hobbies, hopes, etc.).
Evaluate their needs from a human services standpoint. How did they get into their current situation? What about their life do they want to change? What can you as the human services professional do to help them?
Create a Service Plan by creating 5 goals for your client, assigning a local organization who will assist with each goal and a date this will be accomplished by. For example, “Goal #1: Link client to grief counseling services to address the death of her son. This will be done by referring her to Hospice of Palm Beach County by the end of next week”. The goals can be in “list format” (instead of paragraph format).
