Section 4 The process of providing clinical, non-clinical<br />

<strong>and</strong> housing services to clients<br />

4.1.3 Case Manager involvement with <strong>Support</strong> Services<br />

A key focus of the evaluation was the working relationship <strong>and</strong> coordination between service providers.<br />

Case Managers (n=40) were asked to rate a number of statements concerning their interactions with support<br />

workers (Table 4.2 below). These statements related to information transfer, perceptions of support worker<br />

contribution, support worker involvement in the development of care plans, <strong>and</strong> issues around recovery.<br />
