Intensive Case Management Paraprofessional

Traime Behavioral Health specializes in providing mental health care for persons with severe and persistent mental illness. We help persons with mental health challenges reintegrate back into the community, learn how to take medications independently, secure gainful employment, secure affordable housing, enter or re-enter into college, and regain life skills that were lost due to mental health issues.  The case manager visits the individual in the community to jointly review progress toward achievement of IRP goals and to seek input regarding his/her level of satisfaction with treatment and any recommendations for change. The case manager monitors and follows-up with the individual in order to: 1) determine if services are provided in accordance with the IRP; 2) determine if services are adequately and effectively addressing the individual’s needs; 3) determine the need for additional or alternative services related to the individual’s changing needs or circumstances; and 4) notify the treatment team when monitoring indicates the need for an IRP reassessment and update.

Services include but are not limited to getting help with locating supportive housing, securing employment, individual training, group training, crisis assessment, support and intervention, assistance with personal development, family counseling/training, assistance with financial management skill development, and substance abuse counseling and intervention. This position of moderate difficulty is responsible for providing a variety of case management and outreach interventions to consumers in their natural environment.
