Case Managers and Care Coordinators can be particularly helpful when it’s all getting to much and you need help getting on top of things. These workers have a broad skill set and can help with:
- Care team coordination
- Safety planning
- Time management and attending appointments
- Support to develop community and social linkages
- Daily living skills development
- Workforce/learning readiness skill development
- Parent skills training
- Counselling
- Advocacy
First Step is funded to do Care Coordination with eligible clients with mental health needs who live and/or work in the City of Port Phillip (http://www.semphn.org.au/resources/mental-health/mental-health-integrated-complex-care.html) and for clients who are homeless or at risk of homelessness (regardless of geographical are). Talk to any of our clinicians and/or the front desk staff if you think you would benefit from this kind of support.
