This assignment builds on your needs assessment assignment (Assignment #1). You will use the same client (movie character) and agency context used
your first assignment. In the Case Management Plan Essay you are required to develop a comprehensive case management plan using the proforma
provided on the course website to address the unmet needs identified in your needs assessment. Based on feedback from your 1st assignment you may
revise your needs assessment if necessary before completing the Case Management (CM) Plan proforma. Your needs assessment matrix as submitted with
1st assignment, a revised needs assessment (if revised) and a comprehensive case management plan proforma must be attached as appendices (2-3 in
total) to your assignment.
Below is a suggested structure that will ensure you address all of the assessment criteria. The suggestions are intended to be a guide only.
Before starting the essay ensure you have completed the CM Plan proforma. The essay is a discussion of your CM plan and therefore must be
completed before attempting the essay.
