Explain the Strengths based model of case management
The strengths-based perspective of case management was originally developed at the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare to help a population of persons with persistent mental illness make the transition from institutionalized care to independent living. The foremost two principles on which the model rests are (1)providing clients support for asserting direct control over their search for resources, such as housing and employment, and (2) examining clients’ own strengths and assets as the vehicle for resource acquisition. To help clients take control and find their strengths, this model of case management encourages use of informal helping networks; promotes the primacy of the client−case manager relationship; and provides an active, aggressive form of outreach to clients.
