Mental Health Services Care Coordinator
A MENTAL HEALTH CARE COORDINATOR is a key member of a client’s multidisciplinary team. You provide direct support, education, referral and outreach services to a caseload of clients diagnosed with mental illness. Care Coordinators, along with other team members, often meet with clients in their homes and out in the community to provide services that aid them in living fulfilling lives not dominated by their mental illness.
A Care Coordinator will actively participate in team meetings to ensure the best plans and services for each client as well as engage other community resources and services to assist in addressing an individual’s unique needs, as appropriate. Care Coordinators conduct assessments and provide direct support, education, referrals, advocacy and outreach services to clients. They collaborate in team meetings to ensure the best individualized treatment plans and comprehensive services for each client, including medicine management, therapy, skills training, employment assistance, housing support, family education and connecting them with other community resources as appropriate.
