The Multiple Needs Assessment and Care Management Package is a 27 page document which is designed as tool for the assessment of homeless people with mental health problems. It is accompanied by assessment forms contained on a 3.5” computer disc. The pack looks holistically at the presenting needs of an individual. It also enables assessors to: prioritise client needs; action those needs appropriately; and, to develop an effective evaluation process, i.e. working with clients on achievable, realistic goals, with scope for re-negotiation as required. The pack is designed on the assumption that the Assessor is competent in assessment practice and has a good understanding of the parameters that are involved.
