Selected Case:
John, a 34-year-old male with a history of substance abuse, homelessness, and mental health issues, is a compelling case because of the close relationship between substance abuse and mental illness, as well as housing status. His case illustrates the emerging social determinants of health in the context of vulnerable populations.
Submit a 1-page paper in which you complete the following:
Describe the sociocultural factors for your selected service user. In what ways might these be relevant to the case management relationship and the service plan?
Identify and describe barriers that may prevent the service user from achieving the goals and objectives of the service plan. These barriers could relate to transportation challenges, lack of family support, stigma, medical insurance, limited income, etc.
Why do you consider these to be barriers?
Sociocultural aspects—a person’s ethnicity and culture, social support, education, gender, financial stability, housing and living situation, religious values, and more—can impact case management, including how you work with the service user. They may also present benefits or barriers to service plan goals.
