Project

Late projects will not be accepted except for circumstances approved by your Instructor.

The purpose of this project is to allow me to become familiar with typical client files at the agencies and organizations in this field. It is necessary to understand the purpose of the documentation in files and to also to understand the relevancy of the documentation.

Consider that you work in ABM Mental Health and Addiction Services, I (your co-worker) come to work on a Monday morning, to find that you have been called away on a family emergency and are leaving the country.

I - (your co-worker) have been one of your clients to continue to work with. The client and I have been working together for almost six months, and have done a lot of work together. If I have kept accurate and complete files, I (your co-worker) should be able to read the file and continue to work with your client with little interruption in service.

What do you think needs to be in this file?

For this project, you are to build a case file based on one of the profiles provided to you. Please go to the profile pdf to choose your profile.

There are a variety of documents that are available for your use. You may also find documents from the internet if you so choose. If you choose to use documents from the internet be sure that they are documents from credible sources.

When you are thinking about what you will need in your file, think about what documents would have been completed by you and your client from the first day you met up until the current date.

Now build this case file!

TIPS to remember:

Make sure things are in logical order
Make sure documents are in separate sections IE. Mental health assessments would not be in the middle of the progress reports
Do not add pictures or drawings, etc. This is to imitate at real case file.
Make sure your file is complete and addresses the issues of your chosen profile
