Client Needs – Care Plan Template
Needs
All answers should be based on the case study and care plan, and must address how the care plan meets the
family’s needs. For additional prompting questions, see the Milestone Three section of the Final Project
Document.
Evaluate the extent to which the plan addresses the children’s needs. How do the interventions and referrals in
place address the needs? How do the interventions and referrals differ for acute versus ongoing needs? Do they
fully address the needs?
The needs of the family include behavioral and substance abuse help for Eloni, safety for Kolomalu,
counseling for each person individually and as a family, housing and financial stability.
The primary intervention of removing Eloni from the home addressed the need for safety of Kolomalu
as Eloni was physically harming him. This is an acute solution to the need of safety for Kolomalu as the
family is working towards bringing Eloni home, removing Eloni does not address the underlying cause
of him attacking Kolomalu. Screening and assessment tools as a secondary intervention address the
needs by evaluating each individual and the family to determine the level of trauma experienced, as
well as what types of traumas. The assessment and screening tools can also help determine the
individuals risks for certain behaviors and actions such as substance use. By finding out information
related to the trauma, the appropriate course of counseling can be prescribed and conducted, also, any
drug or alcohol use screenings can determine if Eloni is in fact utilizing any substances, and if so, how
to go about treatment for that. Assessment and screening tools would be an acute need but can be
utilized again later in treatment to re-evaluate the progress made. The tertiary intervention is
counseling. Counseling is needed by everyone, as well as the family as a unit. Counseling can address
both behavioral and substance use for Eloni, as well as all traumas he has experienced. Kolomalu would
benefit from counseling to address the physical attacks from his brother, and Anamalia can benefit from
counseling as a parent, as well as to process any potential traumas she has experienced. Family
counseling will help the family work together towards goals established and process traumas together.
Counseling is an ongoing intervention and can benefit the family for longer periods of time.
Discuss the gaps in service of the plan. How do the interventions or referrals not address the children’s needs?
What recommendations would you make to address these needs?
The needs of employment for Anamalia and financial stability are not addressed through the
interventions in the service plan. The stress of their financial situation can be discussed in counseling;
however counseling would not provide Anamalia with a job or money. To address the needs of
employment and financial stability, I would recommend that Anamalia connect with local temp-
agencies and would also provide her with employment websites to look through. She has recently
obtained her MA degree, so I would also help her contact local doctors offices or hospitals for
employment applications.
Evaluate the extent to which the plan addresses the family’s needs. What steps are in place to address the
family’s needs? How do they address the needs? How do the steps differ for acute versus ongoing needs? Do
they fully address the needs? Are there gaps where needs are not addressed?
The primary intervention within the plan addressed the need of safety for Kolomalu as Eloni was
removed from the home and he was the one abusing Kolomalu. The family was then referred to this
human service professional for counseling and evaluation. The next step would be to conduct
assessment and screening tools for the family and determine the traumas, level of traumas, and what
they are at risk for. By conducting these assessment and screening tools, appropriate counseling
services can be recommended and provided. Counseling services would be a final step for the family as
it can help each person work on their individual needs as well as their needs as a family. They can also
work on addressing the traumas experienced and how to process those traumas. Most of the needs
within the family are ongoing, however the immediate need of safety for Kolomalu can be considered
acute for the time being as the family works towards his continued safety around his brother Eloni. This
acute need was met by the removal of Eloni from the home. This step would not address the ongoing
need for his safety however as the family is working towards Eloni returning to the home. Assessment
and Screening tools would address the acute need of determining best counseling strategies to utilize as
well as obtaining the information necessary to better treat the family. The ongoing need for counseling,
