Case Management

Case management is a supported service designed to improve the quality of life for individuals who have behavioral health or special developmental needs. Case managers determine the person’s strengths and needs and then help identify and access resources and services to promote independence and integration in the community.

Together with the client and her or his team, the case manager helps identify the person’s strengths and needs. A treatment plan is then developed that builds on those strengths to meet the identified needs. Our services promote physical and mental wellness as well as individual/family independence and success in their community.  We achieve this through mobile outreach, client advocacy, maintenance of basic living needs, assessment of benefits, and linking and monitoring services.

If you are a healthcare professional looking to refer a client to our case management services, please fill in this form and fax to the attention of the Case Management Navigator, 207-874-1044.

Case Management for Adults

If you or a loved one is feeling overwhelmed by the social service system and not sure where to turn for help or services, we can help.

  • Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with a mental illness or developmental disorder?
  • Struggling at home, school, at work or in the community?
  • Are you worried about your or a loved one’s behavior and moods?
  • Having difficulty getting along with others?
  • Have you or a loved one experienced a traumatic event?

If so, we can help adults thrive at home, at work and in their communities by:

  • Connecting with natural supports and community resources.
  • Helping navigate the systems of behavioral and medical care.
  • Coordinating services and streamlining communication between multiple providers.
  • Developing and monitoring individualized service plans.

Recovery is a process, beginning with diagnosis and eventually moving into successful management of your illness. Successful recovery involves learning the skills and the treatments available, empowering yourself through the support of peers and family members, and finally moving to a point where you take action to improve your health and wellness and strive to reach your full potential.
