Social Condition Matrix
The Social Condition Matrix system is an Excel-based system designed to help programs evaluate changes in the condition and functioning of client families. The strength-based system, based on advocate or case manager observation, tracks a family's status in twelve functional areas over time.
Income & Budget
Employment
Housing
Food/Nutrition
Health Care
Transportation
Adult Education
Family Relations
Community Involvement
Child Care
Condition of Children
Alcohol/Drugs
By evaluating families holistically, rather than only their negative or problem areas, case planning can build upon family strengths which improves long term outcomes.
The Social Condition Matrix is designed for both front-line and administrative staff. Advocates are able to easily document changes over time in each client family and Program Managers are able to easily supervise the program's total caseload.
