Case Managers and Care Coordinators can be particularly helpful when it’s all getting to much and you need help getting on top of things. These workers have a broad skill set and can help with:

• Care team coordination
• Safety planning
• Time management and attending appointments
• Support to develop community and social linkages
• Daily living skills development
• Workforce/learning readiness skill development
• Parent skills training
• Counselling
• Advocacy

First Step is funded to do Care Coordination with eligible clients with mental health needs who live and/or work in the City of Port Phillip (http://www.semphn.org.au/resources/mental-health/mental-health-integrated-complex-care.html) and for clients who are homeless or at risk of homelessness (regardless of geographical are). Talk to any of our clinicians and/or the front desk staff if you think you would benefit from this kind of support.
