Mental Health Case Management
Independent Living Placement’s Adult Mental Health Targeted Case Management team provides person-centered, recovery-based services to adults with a diagnosed serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). Our targeted case managers provide supports to
individuals experiencing mental and/or chemical health needs as well as those with a history of trauma, with a focus on helping them work on recovery and the ability to live independently in the community.
ILP’s mental health case managers help individuals identify goals and services, refer and link individuals to needed resources to achieve their goals, and coordinate care between treatment team providers. Our case managers work to build relationships based on meeting individuals where they are and providing encouragement for recovery and goal achievement. They place a high emphasis on fostering hope, courage and resiliency, and use a strengths-based approach when regarding individuals’ life situations.
Some examples of what a mental health case manager can assist with:
-
Identifying strengths and needs
