The case management concept is complex because different components may happen at different times during the treatment process. Each individual is unique and different, so therefore, the treatment has to be different. Freeman (2001) stated, “The traditional case management plan calls for reduction of problematic symptoms by a certain percentage” (p. 77). Case managers are professionals who provide treatment and services to clients so they can live productive in society.

It is argued that low-income families are prime targets for predatory lending, eg, payday loans, subprime mortgage lending.

Empowerment will attempt to address the wider factors which could potentially have an influence on poor health for an individual, or a community, as opposed to just looking at the specific health concerns.
