You understand that traditional services often are not effective for this population and look for opportunities to increase access to additional supports.

You assist families in identifying supports, building a team, designing a strength-based plan, and facilitating team meetings.

You monitor the progress that providers are making toward outcomes and facilitate the development of transition strategies. With careful attention, you manage funds allocated through the Community Team and provide them with the data required for determining consumer satisfaction, progress toward measurable outcomes, and efficient utilization of resources. You will find creating a path to resilience, recovery, wellness, and self-determination for the youth that you work with to be very rewarding!
