A Day in the Life of a Case Manager:

Our Case Managers support children age birth to 7 years and their families. The Case Manager begins their services by developing a comprehensive and individual plan of care for each of their assigned clients. The Case Manager then provides case management services based off of their client's identified needs. The highlight of a Case Manager's day is when a client and their family are able to overcome a barrier.

A typical week usually consists of (but not limited to!):

• Phone Calls to assess needs, plan services, and coordinate care
• Office, home and community visits to meet children's needs
• Clinical assessment and determination of child's needs
• Parenting/Family Education
• Assistance in developing individual and family centered plans
• Support with regular pediatrician, dental and therapy visits
• Information on parenting skills and support with problem solving
• Assistance with creating safe and healthy environment, developing healthy discipline, setting boundaries, structure and limits
• Conducting regular developmental screenings to make sure children are meeting their milestones
• Assistance with building family relationships and secure attachment in cases where this may have been interrupted
• Collaborating with other community agencies
• Co-facilitating substance use disorder groups 2-3 times/week with therapists

In addition to the creation and implementation of individualized support plans, it is the Case Managers responsibility to ensure that the needs of their clients are being met, while maintaining all required documentation.
