Illness Management, Rehabilitation, and Recovery

delivers one single seamless system of care.  The range of services offered is based on individual needs identified by the case management team. The consumer’s strengths and personal goals dictate a plan for the consumer that allows him/her to achieve those goals.  While the team provides treatment for the illness (illness management) they also assist the consumer with with obtaining his/her life goals (rehabilitation), such as returning to work, starting or finishing school, living independently, or developing and nurturing relationships. Finally, the team is there to coach and advocate for the consumer and to help him/her achieve the highest quality of life possible (recovery).

On the road of recovery, there are inevitably barriers and challenges along the way.  That is life as most know it, but for individuals with SPMI or SED, the barriers and challenges can often seem insurmountable.  This is why there is a team of supports.  Crisis prevention, crisis management, and day-to-day living skills are important factors for success.  Being proactive, the team meets every day to identify any of the consumers they work with that may be having challenges and need extra assistance.  They build a plan, intervene, and continue to follow-up until the barrier or challenge is resolved.
