The Helping Process

In this assignment, case management (including case plan development) must be used based on the specific needs of an offender. A strength-based approach to case management services must also be implemented. Case management professionals follow a three-phase process, known as the helping process, to provide the support and structure needed to help others. The helping process includes the following three phases:

• Assessment
• Planning
• Implementation

Write a 525- to 700-word paper exploring the importance of the three phases. Include the following information:

• Describe the significance of client participation during the helping process.
• Discuss how a strength-based approach is used in each phase.
• Describe the ethical considerations that must be addressed during each phase.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
