About Lenawee Community Mental Health Authority

We have been providing services to some of the most vulnerable members of the Lenawee County community for over 40 years. Our agency provides or manages a full array of services to adults and children with mental health issues, emotional disturbances, substance use disorders, and developmental disabilities. Our mission is to create a path to resilience, recovery, wellness, and self-determination. We feel a responsibility to identify needs and work with our community partners to identify solutions. Our priorities are to offer a welcoming environment, integrated care, community benefit, community inclusion, innovation, and improvement.

A Day in the Life of a Case Manager

As a Case Manager, you assist individuals with developmental disabilities in navigating systems to better meet their needs. You understand that traditional services often aren't effective for this population and look for opportunities to increase access to additional supports. You find the gaps in support and help bring about improvement as you connect with multiple community partners and systems. Often, by the time you get involved, other systems and supports have given up or are close to it. Your job is to instill hope and reenergize efforts for recovery.

You assist consumers in identifying supports, building a team and designing a strength-based plan that focusses on recovery. The plan of service that you prepare is based upon discoveries about strengths and culture, a needs assessment and a crisis and safety support plan. You will assist the support team in developing a plan that is specific to the needs and desires of the consumer, from their perspective. You link and coordinate services and inter-agency resources.

You monitor the progress that providers are making toward outcomes and facilitate the development of transition strategies. You will find creating a path to resilience, recovery, wellness, and self-determination for the youth that you work with to be very rewarding!
