Through care planning, you will be an integral part of a client’s growth and recovery. You will remove barriers to mental healthcare through case management: connecting our clients with resources and helping them navigate complex systems. You will help clients strengthen daily living skills as you drive them to doctors’ appointments, to benefits offices, or to the grocery store. As the identified Peer on the team, you will share your recovery story with our clients in a mutual, two-way helping process where you will learn from each other and model that recovery can happen.
