Care Coordination Package
Care coordination is best for clients and families who have complex mental health challenges and multiple providers (therapists, psychiatrists, coaches, doctors, etc.). The integration of these entities can have a significant impact on treatment outcomes. Care coordination is often beneficial for clients and families when there is a transition from a higher level of care to outpatient care and/or independent living. This package includes the following:
Initial Assessment: Before coordination starts an assessment would take place with the client and family. Information from current providers is also gathered. Recommendations are provided after the assessment, which includes the recommended frequency of the below services.
Therapeutic Case Management: Regular one-on-one sessions between with the client to identify personal goals and work towards them. Helps to build self efficacy and create movement in practical areas of life. Examples include: employment, community resources, strengths and interest identification, practice structuring one’s own time, plan to increase/utilize social supports, etc.
Provider Collaboration: The clinician has regular contact with mental health providers and any appropriate medical providers treating the client/family. Helps provide a continuity of care for the client and a team approach amongst professionals.
Family Involvement: Clinician stays in regular communication with the family (typically parents) to discuss goals, progress, barriers, expectations, etc.
