Lester came into your office on May 6. What are your target dates for your goals?

Use the above vignette to develop a detailed treatment plan for the client. Lester has been in prison and has recently been released on parole. He has family in the area, but he distanced himself from them after high school. They did visit him while he was in prison. Lester has been referred to your agency, which works with ex-convicts to help them turn their lives around. Lester has indicated that his juvenile crime spree was “crazy” and that he would like to become a useful citizen. As the case manager, you interviewed Lester and learned that he would like to become a chef. He tells you that he had some cooking classes in the prison and that he worked mainly in the kitchen there and enjoyed the work. He feels, however, that he could have learned more and taken on more responsibility. At present Lester is staying in a halfway house and is charged with getting a job and a place to stay.
