What Is Case Management?

Case management seeks to help individuals living with mental illness get the help they need to live their best life. The case management experience is provided for children, adults, and adolescents. This means that just about anyone can make use of the service as long as they qualify. If you or a loved one has a serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI), then you can receive the help you need.

Who Is Case Management For?

Case management is for anyone who qualifies. However, in order to qualify, you must first be assessed by a clinician. A specialist will look at your specific needs (such as physical and mental health, social requirements, etc.) and determine if your circumstances make you eligible for case management.

How Does the Program Work?

The program is comprehensive and is a collaborative process that involves assessment and planning that specifically targets the needs of the patient. It’s designed to help patients select and gain access to community resources they need, such as assistance with housing, the acquisition of future medical care, future recreational opportunities, rehab, and more. The treatment is personalized so that everyone gets exactly what is needed on their journey towards recovery.

Case management is provided to help connect individuals to resources in the community. While it’s not exclusively for those who are transitioning out of a hospital, you can receive case management assistance for 180 days before your discharge from an inpatient or residential facility.

Staff Qualifications

Idaho requires case managers to hold a bachelor's degree in human services or a health-related field of study. They must also practice case management under the supervision of a licensed mental health professional.
