The training will cover outreach/ engagement, assessment, treatment planning, and strategies for motivating clients to follow through with accessing services/meeting their stated goals. In addition, the training will review guidelines for assessing for safety issues for clients and strategies to ensure staff safety. Harm reduction case management obtains successful outcomes through an empowerment approach rather than fostering client/consumer dependency upon agencies for their needs.
