Scenario:
You work in a community health service as a counsellor and advocate. Due to the demographics of the area, a large proportion of clients are older adults who access the service for support with medications and long-term medical conditions. Nurses in the centre report that many older clients seem isolated and lack social support. On a recent home visit, an older client commented that they don’t feel comfortable driving and have limited access to public transport.
As a result, their visits to the community health centre are one of their few opportunities to leave
the house. Senior management have asked you, as the social worker, to explore the feasibility of a
group program to provide additional support to this group of clients.
Introduction:
1. State to whom the submission is being directed
2. Provide a brief description of the organisation the proposed group will be part of, its function, the usual population the organisation serves and its philosophical approach, missions and/or vision
