During preparation for conducting the FFA-Ongoing, which actions should a case manager take?

  1. Review the CPI FFA

  2. List case plan tasks to discuss with the family

  3. Obtain consultation with a supervisor

  4. A and C

The correct answer is: A and C

The correct answer encompasses the importance of both reviewing existing documentation and consulting with a supervisor in preparation for conducting the Family Functional Assessment-Ongoing (FFA-Ongoing). Reviewing the CPI FFA is essential as it provides vital background information on the family's situation, previous assessments, and any identified concerns. This review helps the case manager understand the context and nuances of the family's needs, enabling a more informed and effective approach during the FFA-Ongoing process. Obtaining consultation with a supervisor is equally important. Engaging with a supervisor can provide additional perspectives, insights, and recommendations based on their experience. This consultation can lead to enhanced strategies for engaging with the family and addressing any sensitive issues that may arise during the assessment. Having both of these actions as part of preparation ensures that the case manager is not only informed but also backed by supervisory guidance, leading to a more thorough and collaborative assessment process. This holistic approach ultimately supports better outcomes for the family involved.
