About The Position

Lenawee Community Mental Health Authority (LCMHA), in Adrian, Michigan has an exciting opportunity for a Wraparound Care Coordinator [Intensive Care Coordinator with Wraparound]. This position is fully on site, at LCMHA's Main Office at the Human Services Building in Adrian, MI. The position also requires travel to see consumers in their homes throughout Lenawee County. As a Wraparound Care Coordinator on the Children's Team, you will assist the families of referred youth in navigating systems and better meeting their needs. You understand that traditional services often are not effective for this population and look for opportunities to increase access to additional supports. You find the gaps in support and help bring about improvement as you connect with multiple community partners and systems. Often, by the time you get involved, other systems or the family feel like giving up. Your job is to instill hope and reenergize the efforts. You assist families in identifying supports, building a team, designing a strength-based plan, and facilitating team meetings. The plan of service that you prepare is based upon discoveries about strengths and culture, a needs assessment, a crisis and safety support plan, a wraparound plan, outcomes, and the development of a family mission statement. You link and coordinate services and inter-agency resources. You may need to create and facilitate services or supports, which do not presently exist in order to truly meet their needs. You monitor the progress that providers are making toward outcomes and facilitate the development of transition strategies. With careful attention, you manage funds allocated through the Community Team and provide them with the data required for determining consumer satisfaction, progress toward measurable outcomes, and efficient utilization of resources. You will find creating a path to resilience, recovery, wellness, and self-determination for the youth that you work with to be very rewarding!
