Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants may transition out of a program for many reasons, including graduation or completion, disengagement or lack of attendance, or an assessment that the program cannot meet the participants\u2019 needs at this time. Some programs may establish categories of \u201cactive\u201d or \u201cinactive\u201d to describe the level of participant involvement and corresponding expectations for frequency of case management contact. For many programs, the formal-sounding \u201cclosure\u201d of a case does not mean contact with the participant and their family stops. In this section we use the term \u201cCase Closure<\/span>Definition<\/span>The process by which a service recipient and service program end their formal relationship<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u201d to describe the transition period when a participant\u2019s formal membership in a program or assignment to a case manager (or similar role) within the program comes to a close.\u00a0 In most programs, case management staff members develop a \u201cfollow-up plan\u201d with each participant, also known as an exit plan or a Transition Plan<\/span>Definition<\/span>A set of steps intended to help the program participant maintain support and progress when they are no longer regularly participating in the program<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
