Initial Engagement of Cases

Initial engagement of the family involves an

assessment of protective factors related to resilience.

Client factors are assessed through the process of
the clinical interview, and the administration of
objective assessment measures
Periodic

Assessment Batteries are administered at

intake and every six months thereafter.

Factors

in the childs environment are also assessed

through the interview process. The initial phase of

treatment often includes the referral, coordination, and
advocacy to additional supportive services.

Assessment-informed Treatment Planning

How do periodic assessments help us?

At intake, you will know what kinds of problems clients are

experiencing.
Assessment results establish a baseline level of functioning.
Follow-ups can provide information on progress, as well as
areas that require additional attention.
Measures can identify areas of clinical risk.
Assessment results can help with treatment planning
Assessments are one tool of many that provide us with
information -- clinical observation, client verbal accounts,
etc. are all valuable.
