What is the Case management approach that focuses on helping clients assert direct and personal control in the search for resources?

• A. Clinical or Rehabilitation Model
• B. Intensive Case Management Model
• C. Program of Assertive Community Treatment Model. Resources.
• D. Supportive Counseling Model

Answer: (C)

This item tests understanding of an empowerment-oriented approach that actively puts the client in charge of finding resources. Program of Assertive Community Treatment uses a mobile, multidisciplinary team that works in the client’s own environment rather than requiring clinic-based visits. The focus is on helping clients identify which resources matter to them and then actively assisting them in accessing those resources—housing, healthcare, benefits, employment, substance-use treatment, and more—while honoring their choices. Services are intensive, flexible, and available in the community, with small caseloads and ongoing outreach, so clients can pursue what they want with steady support. This combination—outreach, client-directed decision-making, and integrated community services—defines ACT and explains why it best fits the idea of asserting direct, personal control in the search for resources.
