Within 48 hours, the client meets with the case manager and begins to develop a case plan. Over time, this plan expands into a comprehensive guide for all of the services a victim of domestic violence will need such as support group attendance, individual counseling, parenting classes, employment issues, educational issues, housing needs, and household necessities.
