Duration of the follow-up period is 6 months. The social worker responsible for follow-up can be the earlier case manager or any other support worker who took part in the development plan of the user and was present in at least one of the case discussions.
Upon closing and evaluating the development plan a new agreement is made with the user in which further steps of social work are laid down. In this phase we intend to provide help in a decreasing manner when possible, but in all cases we consider the current needs of the user. Decreasing manner means a decreasing number of monthly meetings and, parallelly, decreasing institutional help which enables the user to evolve their independent living.
After finishing the intensive development period we believe that at least two meetings a month are necessary.
