An Introduction to the Practice of Case
Management in Social Services |
In the recent years, there have been an increasing number of
courses that specialises in preparing and training individuals to
be professional and para-professional people helpers, especially
in the area of counselling. However, case management has been a
missing component in a number of these courses.
When used appropriately, case management could assist clients in
receiving needed services in a supportive, effective, efficient
and cost effective manner and could provide a more holistic
approach to people helping. The benefits of case management could
be applied to various settings, for example social service
agencies, community organisations, educational institutions,
religious organisations. As such, the skills of case management
can serve to promote the multi-prong approach to people helping. |
