MENTAL HEALTH CASE MANAGEMENT:

Targeted Case Management (TCM) services help adults with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) gain access to medical, social, educational, vocational and other necessary services connected to the person’s mental health needs.

 TCM services have four components:

• Assessment

• Planning

• Referral and linkage

• Monitoring and coordination

 Clients and Case Managers are constantly:

• Assessing the person’s needs and goals and impact of mental illness, and utilizing the person’s strengths and progress

• Clarifying goal-related plans and steps and updating the ICSP or IFCSP and thinking of new resources

• Referring and linking to resources, supports and services

• Coordinating with partners and natural supports identified by the person as being important to his or her recovery process

• Monitoring the effectiveness of the resources, supports and services being utilized

• Reviewing the need for TCM services

• Discussing the progress made toward goals and recovery

This program is offered to individuals who are eighteen years or older, are diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness, and participates in the screening process through Dakota County Social Services. If you are interested in receiving TCM services, please contact Adult Intake through Dakota County Social Services at 651-554-6424.
