Certified Case Manager Practice Test

Reassuring the child and family about the following steps is crucial during the transition out of licensed care. This reassurance provides a sense of stability and predictability, which can significantly alleviate anxiety associated with change. Children often experience uncertainty and fear when faced with transitions, so outlining the next steps helps them understand what to expect, fostering a sense of security.

By clearly communicating the process and what lies ahead, caregivers and case managers empower children to feel more in control and less apprehensive. This proactive approach not only addresses immediate concerns but also supports emotional well-being, helping children cope with their feelings about leaving licensed care.

While providing regular updates about the case, informing them about new placements ahead of time, and discussing their feelings are all important aspects of communication and support, they may not directly provide the necessary reassurance that the child needs. The emphasis on reassuring about the following steps specifically targets their need for clarity and security during a potentially turbulent time.
