Intervene

- Identify one SMART objective for the family that will help them accomplish the goal. “PLEASE USE THE SMART GOALS”
- What resources will be required? Include both the formal and informal resources you defined earlier, as well as additional resources that do not appear on the town map or in the case files.
- What can you do to help the family accomplish the goals?
Evaluate
