Overview
Unique Needs of People with Viral Hepatitis is what we did in week 3
Rarely can one agency provide all the services needed to meet the multitude of problems experienced by clients. Use the population you previously chose in the first discussion in Week 3 (see list below) for this discussion:- Women.
- Homeless people.
- Older Adults.
- Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.
- Co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders.
- Children and adolescents.
- College students.
- People with HIV and AIDS.
- People with viral hepatitis.
Follow these steps with this population in mind:
- Construct an "ideal system of integrated care" to adequately address the unique and multiple needs of this population in your own community.
- Consider the role of case management in substance-abuse treatment and how this impacts continuum of care for clients. (Generate an outside, peer-reviewed journal article for cognitive behavioral therapy with substance abusers, if you choose this approach.)
- Identify what local resource agencies (for example, Health Care for the Homeless or a local AIDS resource organization) would be important to incorporate into this integrated model.
