About The Position

Case Managers assist with monitoring consumer’s well-being, including needs in the areas of mental health, physical health, living, learning, working, and social environments. Case managers travel to wherever consumers reside, whether that is at home, boarding homes, or other community-based living to provide monitoring; when working with children they would be going to the schools as well. The primary role of the case manager is to increase psychological adjustment for the consumer by empowering the consumers and sometimes family members with information, education, and support in order to follow through once case management ends.
