Case Managers
Family Members / Care Givers
What to Expect
- Service type: Family Training (educational skill-building; not therapy)
Eligibility & Scope
Appropriate when: the client needs structured, teachable routines/skills; caregiver coaching will help carry skills across settings. (Emotional and social needs can be worked on, but not in the same way a therapist would)
Not a fit for: Medical/Clinical therapy needs; crisis-only requests without a training goal. We can collaborate with clinical teams when both are involved.
