Imagine that you are a case manager working in a jail with both male and female clients who have been incarcerated for at least 5 years. These clients have children and families. For this discussion, you may assume that many of the clients may need assistance with substance abuse, mental health, transportation, employment, and family services, among others.

1.) Describe the local demographics of your community. Include information on race, age, education, income, and crime

- A good source for this information is Data Commons.

2.) Identify at least three specific needs and services that your clients will have as they prepare to leave jail and transition back into the community.

- Take into consideration the demographics of your area and the needs of your community's population.

3.) Conduct research to locate names of at least three appropriate community resources (agencies, programs, and services) that will serve your clients' needs.

- You may need to locate resources in surrounding areas, online, or develop new services and programs if they do not already exist in the community.

4.) Decide how clients will access these services.

- You can be creative. Human services professionals are always trading services with each other.
