school based case management
service overview
this program brings people from different parts of the family’s life to work collectively, connecting them to community and local resources
focusing on youth and families with complex needs
Together, the youth, family and Thompson School Based Case Management Staff will select the supportive members of the Child & Family Team to help with some or all of the following:
connect family to their community and local resources
family reunification while building the youth & family’s natural supports
increase family collaboration and communication
improve youth’s mental health and improve school attendance
the process and benefits
The initial phase includes respectful conversations about the youth and family’s strengths, needs, and cultural values. These early conversations set the tone for cooperative teamwork and building relationships that are important.
Once the action plan is developed, all team members support the youth’s and family’s goals, believing in the family’s abilities to manage their own lives.
School Based Case Management services can assist families with access to food/food stamps, job support, other Thompson services, prosocial activities, and mental health services. McKinney-Vento referrals can support students and their families experiencing homelessness.
