How a Case Manager Can Change Your Life
Your Partner in Navigating Life's Challenges
Imagine having a dedicated professional who understands your unique circumstances and works tirelessly to connect you with the resources, support, and opportunities you need to thrive. That's exactly what a case manager provides – a compassionate guide who walks alongside you on your journey toward greater independence and improved quality of life.
Case management in mental health refers to a holistic and coordinated approach for providing support and services to individuals with mental health needs, ensuring that individuals receive the appropriate care, resources, and support to maintain their mental well-being and improve their quality of life. At Resolutions Therapy Practice, our Targeted Case Management (TCM) services are offered free of charge to qualifying Medicaid recipients, providing comprehensive support that addresses every aspect of your life.
Our dedicated case managers, led by Program Director Daven Mansfield, understand that each person's journey is unique. They work collaboratively with you to develop personalized goals and create pathways to achieve them, whether you're seeking stable housing, employment opportunities, healthcare access, or educational advancement.
Comprehensive Support That Makes a Real Difference
The beauty of case management lies in its comprehensive approach. Case management addresses all aspects of a client's life, from mental health to housing and employment, providing continuity of care that minimizes disruptions in treatment by coordinating between multiple providers. Rather than navigating complex systems alone, you have an experienced advocate who knows how to access resources and cut through bureaucratic barriers.
Our case managers provide crucial assistance across multiple areas of life. They help with finding housing and applying for low-income housing programs, support job searching, including resume writing and interview preparation, and assist with applying for government assistance programs like food stamps, childcare assistance, unemployment benefits, Social Security, and disability services. Additionally, they provide transportation assistance to medical appointments and help access WIC benefits when eligible.
Beyond these practical supports, case managers offer invaluable assistance with mental health and substance use concerns. Mental health case managers coordinate and manage all aspects of an individual's mental health care, connecting them with appropriate mental health services and providers to ensure individuals receive a comprehensive and cohesive approach to their treatment. They help you communicate your needs and progress within your treatment team, assist in using skills learned in therapy sessions, and teach crisis-coping skills for managing difficult situations.
Empowerment Through Partnership
What sets case management apart is its empowering approach. Clients are encouraged to take an active role in their recovery, promoting long-term success through empowerment. Your case manager doesn't make decisions for you; instead, they provide information, support, and advocacy that enables you to make informed choices about your life.
This partnership model recognizes your strengths and builds upon them. Case managers help you develop essential life skills like medication routines, scheduling, and budgeting skills. They assist in implementing emotion-regulation techniques learned in therapy and provide support for improving interpersonal skills. For parents, case managers can also provide valuable parenting skills training and support.
Specialized Support for Children and Families
Children can also benefit significantly from our TCM services. We provide assistance in finding engaging community activities, support for developing positive behaviors and impulse control, parenting support and resources for families, school-based support and advocacy, and help with joining school groups and extracurricular activities.
Case management helps patients coordinate and navigate through their health care in a cost-effective manner, with patient-centric positive outcomes including improvement in self-management skills, care plan adherence, satisfaction, self-reported health status, and perceived quality of life. These benefits extend to the entire family system, creating positive ripple effects that support everyone's wellbeing.
