Supportive Case Management Program
People. Recovery.
Program Objectives
People who have experienced recovery will state that the consequences of serious mental illness are often just as troubling as the illness itself. For many, its disabling experience includes interruptions in education, career development and independence. As a result, frequent relapses, unemployment, poverty and homelessness can be common. Case management services reduce such impact from disability. We work to assure that you have access to high quality services and supports such as access to recovery-focused mental health treatment, rehabilitation and self-help services. Our case managers also assist with obtaining and maintaining entitlement resources such as Medicaid, Social Security, Food stamps, Public Assistance, etc.
Our Approach
The case management relationship starts with a thorough assessment of how the experience of mental illness has impacted your functioning and resources. The case management process is centered on YOU. Our case managers work with you wherever the most convenient place is to do so - your home, your work, our offices, etc. You and your case manager will plan and navigate a course to gain the resources that match your needs and goals such as employment, education, health, and relationships. Our well trained staff use their skills to help you confront barriers such as stigma, transportation, and finances. The pace of change is for you to control.
