When developing your plan, make sure you clearly consider and indicate in the planning paper the following:

Does your plan follow the SMART model; if so briefly explain how? (Specific Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)

What elements of diversity are you taking into consideration as you develop the plan?

What NASW values/ethics related to social work are relevant to this client?

What social and/or political determinants of health should be considered?

Is there any unresolved trauma?

What economic factors might you have to consider in developing the plan?

Discuss how your plan will be implemented

Identify potential barriers or challenges to the success of your plan.

Select at least one program/resource that relates to your client population that you can use as part of the intervention and as a resource in your plan; briefly explain the program and how to make contact with the resource: Ex: family with small children and economic needs: (SNAP or WIC program).

How will you evaluate if your plan is working? Make the evaluation substantial and not just a 1- 2 line statement. What evaluative tools will you use?

When will you terminate the case?
