Web Dubois Case

1. How will you encourage Janis’s participation in reaching the goal?

I would encourage Janis by first letting her know that she is not alone in the process. I would also encourage her to set her own goals. Highlighting her strengths would also be used to encourage Janis to participate in reaching her goal. I would be sure to include Janis throughout the process and providing encouragement along the way. I would encourage Janis to complete the tasks that she is capable of completing and not rely heavily on others. I would always ask Janis what she thinks or how she feels regarding any decisions. Janis would know that she is ultimately in charge of reaching her goal.

2. How will you make the referrals? Do you anticipate any barriers? Explain.

First I would determine Janis needs and the agencies that can provide the needed services and her eligibility. I would make initial contact with the facility and give them a brief history of Janis case as well as make sure services are available prior to giving Janis and her mother the contact information. I would ensure the facility had someone available to assist Janis and her mother throughout the application process if needed. I would also ask Janis or her mother to call me with the appointment information. I would follow-up after the appointment.

Possible barriers would be past unfavorable history with certain agency. Other agencies not provide feedback and documentation of the services rendered to Janis.
