“…Redko et al ( 2007 ) also found that people with substance abuse issues receiving SMCM highlighted goals as an important focus of the client-case manager relationship. In Tsoi et al’s ( 2019 ) SMCM study, one of the only differences between their SMCM group and a comparison group (case management without SMCM) was higher goal achievement of the SMCM group. Movement on practical goals is identified as a key element in building the alliance and fostering hope in both community mental health literature (Farrelly & Lester, 2014 ; Kidd et al, 2017 ; Redko et al, 2007 ; Tsoi et al, 2019 ) and psychotherapy research (Baldwin et al, 2007 ; Fluckiger et al, 2018 ; Wampold, 2015 ).…”

“…There may be parallels with efforts to integrate strengths-based approaches into mental health care. Strengths-based approaches have a strong evidence base (Tse et al, 2016) and are now being evaluated in Hong Kong (Tsoi et al, 2019;Tse et al, 2019). Another resource available in Hong Kong are peer support workers (Tse et al, 2017), and their role in supporting well-being merits future investigation.…”

“…The existing literature (including the SMCM-specific studies) supports the effectiveness of generic strengths-based case management in improving client outcomes, such as reducing hospitalization, improving physical and mental health, increasing employment, and increasing social support and satisfaction with life [1,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Aside from client outcomes, Tsoi and colleagues [18] found that the SMCM was effective for reducing emotional exhaustion among case workers.…”

Background The strengths model of case management (SMCM), which was developed by Rapp and Goscha through collaborative efforts at the University of Kansas, assists individuals with mental illness in their recovery by mobilizing individual and environmental resources. Increasing evidence has shown that the utilization of the SMCM improves outcomes, including increased employment/educational attainment, reduced hospitalization rates, higher self-efficacy, and hope. However, little is known about the processes through which the SMCM improves outcomes for mental health service users. This study explores the views of case workers and service users on their experience of providing or receiving the SMCM intervention. Methods A qualitative design was employed using individual interviews with service users and case workers drawn from two study conditions: the SMCM group and the control group (treatment as usual). For both study conditions, service users were recruited by either centres-in-charge or case workers from integrated community centres for mental wellness (ICCMWs) operated by three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in different districts of Hong Kong. Through purposeful sampling, 24 service users and 14 case workers from the SMCM and control groups joined the study. We used an inductive approach to analyse the qualitative data. Results We identified two overarching themes: service users’ and case workers’ (1) perceptions of the impacts of the interventions (SMCM and control group) and (2) experiences of the interventions, such as features of the interventions and the factors that facilitated the outcomes. The results showed that there were improvements in the functional recovery of the SMCM group in areas such as employment and family relationships, how self-identified goals were achieved, and how service users gained a better understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses. Regarding their experience of the interventions, participants in both the SMCM group and the control group reported that a good relationship between service users and case workers was vital. However, some concerns were raised about the use of SMCM tools, including the strengths assessment and the personal recovery plan (PRP) and the risk of case workers being subjective in the presentation of cases in group supervision sessions. Conclusion The results were promising in terms of supporting the use of the SMCM, with some refinements, in mental health services for Chinese clients.
