The Case Management and Skills Training unit consists of
18 case managers dedicated to helping children and their families find and secure the services needed for optimal development and quality of life.
Case managers help families plan the services they need, link them to the services, coordinate the services, and monitor how the children and families are responding to services. Case managers provide skills training to children to help them manage their own symptoms and behavior, and also train families and caregivers in how to better manage their child’s behavior. The goal of the services is to help children learn to follow household rules, behave in school, and interact more positively with others.
This program is available for children between the ages of
3 and 18 who have a mental health diagnosis. Eligibility is based on further assessment and children who qualify will begin receiving services within two weeks of referral.
Case managers work a flexible schedule and will meet at the times most convenient for the child and family. As well, most case management services are performed in the family’s home or community, such as at the child’s school.
