Services are provided by trained mental health professionals, each possessing the credentials of an Intensive Case Manager (ICM). Services are tailored to individual children needs rather than imposing a single model of service intensity. The Children ICM Program is designed to provide an intensive level of service to children with SEDs who have not successfully engaged in community-based mental health services. The Program has a client capacity of 132. The clinical staff is composed of 11 ICM, a Clinical Supervisor, and a Program Director who is responsible for the overall programmatic and administrative running of the Case Management Programs. Children are seen in the community (e.g. in their residential setting, at their treatment program, etc.).
The ICM coordinates and assists in making appropriate referrals for essential services, and monitors the overall delivery of services. It is required that the program processes all requests for client discharge and/or transfers/change of status through the Single Point of Access (SPOA). Positive outcomes expected are reduction in length and frequency of hospitalization and reliance on emergency psychiatric services, increasing engagement in appropriate community based mental health services, improve residential placement and social stability.
