Case Management

Our Case Management service is individual support provided by case managers who come from the communities we serve and speak languages such as Tamil, Hindi, Swahili, Somali, Farsi, Urdu, Punjabi and others.  

Each case manager has an average caseload of 20 clients and all have gone through anti-racism/anti-oppression training. The case manager, often in collaboration with the family, provides: intensive, portable and client-directed supports, assists the client define his/her needs and goals and works with the client to achieve goals. The case manager also links the client to appropriate resources in the community and advocates when necessary.

• Linkage with appropriate services and resources
• Client advocacy
