Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Individuals often have problems or concerns but are unclear which professional will best support their needs. They lack the trust and personal connection with their professional that is so important for positive interactions and outcomes.
Accessible Professionals’ team includes personalized care coordinators (CARE Advocates) who onboard new members. We would like a team of students to support us in creating an assessment tool/guide that the CARE advocate will use when onboarding new members to help gather information/assess the members’ needs (mental health, post-partum depression, anxiety, anxiety/depression dealing with ill family members/children, etc) and provide recommendations for supports and community resources available. This tool will be used with all new members and will allow us the provide individualized care. It would be helpful for students to research what other assessment/onboarding tools are used
Accessible Professionals is able to share current resources/guides that have already been developed to help the students create the assessment tool.
