Screening Inventory of Personal History, Experience, and Needs
In order to gain an understanding of the individuals who are invited to participate in the Community Project, each participant will be screened using an inventory that is designed to provide selected information about the individual. This information will be used to focus the planning efforts and strategies that will be utilized to facilitate each individual’s transition to independent living
in their community.

The areas covered in the screening inventory include the following:


	Money management [overall assessment of financial literacy] Budgeting and saving Banking; use of checkbook Credit cards Employability skills Job search and applications Interviewing skills Resume Formal education/training Computer literacy; technological familiarity Relationship skills History of significant relationships Family; close friends Community connections Communication skills Facility or difficulties expressing feelings Nutrition and food preparation Shopping preparation Meal planning Understanding of dietary and nutritional factors Stress and anger management Coping skills and strategies Options for leisure/recreational activities Continuum of care Significant health history Knowledge of how to navigate various health care systems Experience with social service systems Special issues/challenges (e.g., addictions, disabilities) The Spiritual component

The format for the use and presentation of this inventory will include mini-classes
and individual counseling/support sessions. These will begin at the initial enrollment
and will then be tailored to the specific individuals.
