Mental Health Case Management (MHCM) is intended to assist individuals with mental illness in identifying and obtaining needed services such as mental health treatment, medication, Federal and State benefits, temporary and long term housing, medical appointment transportation, education, and employment. The case manager helps all eligible persons get linked with the services they need, but does not provide the services directly. This service promotes recovery and is based on ongoing support and trust between the case manager, the participant, and various service providers within the community.
