How it works
In concert with treating providers, the Case Manager will educate the client (and parent/guardian for minor children) regarding their mental illness, treatment, medication, and Mental Health Advanced Directives. CM will provide advocacy emphasizing building client skills that will enable them to assume responsibility for their own needs. If emergency services are required at any time, the Case Manager will provide necessary linkage to Bridgeway Emergency Services for clients in crisis.
The Cost
CM services are provided at no cost to the client, whether they have insurance or government benefits.
