What is YCC?

Youth Care Coordination (also referred to as mental health case management) is a service that supports children, adolescents, and transitional aged youth with serious mental health disorders with gaining access to needed medical, mental health, social, educational, and other services. The primary goal of of this program is to connect clients with needed services, including medical, social, educational, mental health, housing, insurance, employment, financial, and other services to support successful functioning in our communities.

​

Care Coordination is a collaborative process which empowers families to achieve positive outcomes through a structured, family-centered approach by providing support in the community and reducing the likelihood of out-of-home placement and referral to a higher level of care. 

​

What Will We Do?

Youth Care Coordinators help families plan the services they need, link them to the community resources services, coordinate the services if needed, and monitor how the youth and families are responding to services. Additionally, skills training is provided to youth, along with their families and caregivers to help them manage their symptoms and behavior independently. 

​

The Care Coordination program also includes emergency and crisis support and advocacy services. Our care coordinators help ensure that every youth in our program has the personalized services and supports they need to thrive.

​

Where will services take place? 

This depends on you or your child's needs and the setting where those needs could best be met. Sometimes our visits will be one-on-one at your home, at the school, our office or other community setting.  

​
