Areas of Expertise
Our plan is clear, we administer programs for communities made up of diverse groups of people and individuals who share a culture, a hobby, lifestyle, social space, family, or simply habits and behaviors that may put and keep them at risk. Our role is that of a community social worker first, to unite members of these groups to work toward a common goal of mental and physical wellness so the community, family and individual can function effectively.
Substance Abuse Interventions
Our interventions include assessment of the root causes of substance abuse. We engage the whole person mind, body and spirit as a wholistic approach to treatment. The first step is listening to our clients! Increases in symptoms of mental illness (or even triggers) can bring on new symptoms. Abuse of alcohol or drugs can also interact with medications such as antidepressants, anxiety medications, and mood stabilizers, making them less effective at managing symptoms and delaying recovery. Our services helps move clients through a continuum of care process addressing many root causes to ensure recovery is growing toward permanence.
Therapeutic Services
Our therapeutic services range from mild to intensive cognitive behavioral wellness to severe cases. Our client pathways focus primarily on changing the health status of client over time through direct care, treatment, counseling, or health education information. The use of Psychotherapy helps us explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and seeks to improve an individual's well-being and is a key component of our work.
Case Management
Our case management services help clients and their support systems evaluate and understand care options, determine what is best to meet their needs, and institute action to achieve their goals and meet their interests and expectations. We recognize that our clients often need a support structure and we build relationships not just clients. Care is a key component to client trust and their ability to forge a new path.
Community Outreach
Community outreach is essential to help communities function better. We work and practice community outreach working directly with individuals, assessing their needs and then guiding them to the appropriate resources to help the communities we serve function. Whether our work is directly with individuals , families or groups conducting needs assessments and making referrals to resources in the community is critical. Also providing resources within our organization will ensure that we are able to facilitate the change in clients that they hope to see.
