The structure of key working in Coolmine utilises the care and case management model and incorporates the community reinforcement approach and cognitive behavioural coping skill and tools which are incorporated into the overall model of the therapeutic community.
The sessions with the keyworker focus on desired outcomes in relation to care plans. A standard 15 item care plan is given to all clients but can be adapted and altered as appropriate. Reaching a goal as part of a care plan is measured by setting deadlines.
