How Case Management Works

CC Maine Community Support Case Management ServicesCase Management Services follow the National Association of Case Management definition of case management which describes case management as “a practice in which the service recipient is a partner in assessing needs, obtaining services, treatments and supports, and in preventing and managing crisis.”

As a partnership, we work with you to help you achieve your goals for community living. Our case management teams are made up of credentialed case managers working under the supervision of a licensed social worker/counselor. In response to a growing Hispanic population the Support & Recovery program has several case managers and a supervisor who speak Spanish.

Behavioral Health Home

A Behavioral Health Home is a team-based approach to supporting physical and mental health needs. It is not a “home” in a residential sense, but rather an outpatient model of care that helps persons diagnosed with a mental illness who also suffer with a chronic medical condition a simpler way to manage all aspects of their physical and mental well-being.

Our behavioral health team:

  • coordinates and monitors of the delivery of effective, integrated behavioral and physical health services to assist you in achieving optimal health/wellness goals.
  • identifies, in collaboration with you and your providers, all service needs to support you in attaining/maintaining safe and affordable housing, and other basic needs to enable you to be successful in the community.
  • will provide advocacy on your behalf for the protection of your rights and entitlements as recipients of behavioral health home services.
