About The Position

In the challenging yet rewarding role of a Case Manager, you will facilitate a strategic planning method called the Child and Family Team process. This process supports youths with complex behavioral or emotional needs in achieving their optimum level of wellness through the development of individualized service plans, linkage to community resources, partnership with family members and others involved in their lives, and the coordination of behavioral and physical health care. In the treatment of children and adolescents, we are known for getting youth in quickly, treating even the most challenging cases, offering helpful parent and family support, and providing quality, compassionate care. Using the nationally recognized Child and Family Team process and with treatment tailored to each person’s strengths, needs, and culture, youth can stay in the home, be productive in school, and have a hopeful future. Integrated health services address both behavioral and physical health issues, and special programs for teens and young adults help them realize their potential and become independent adults. We also collaborate with the Arizona Department of Child Safety to provide families involved in child welfare with comprehensive service plans which integrate all aspects of care and treatment. All members of the team practice in a manner that is consistently mindful of the 12 Principles of The Arizona Vision for Children.
