Skills Building (CBRS)– This program offers goal-directed training to enable individuals to achieve and maintain community stability and independence in the most appropriate, least restrictive environment. Services are typically provided in one-hour increments in the individual’s home or the community and are tailored to his/her needs. Services are developed in coordination with the individual and services team using a person-centered approach. Individual recovery and support goals are developed to empower individuals to achieve objectives based on preferences, strengths, and potential.
Case Management- Case management facilitates the achievement of client wellness and autonomy through advocacy, assessment, planning, communication, education, resource management, and service facilitation. Based on the needs and values of the client, and in collaboration with all service providers, the case manager links clients with appropriate providers and resources throughout the continuum of health and human services and care settings while ensuring that the care provided is safe, effective, client-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable.
Peer Support– The role of a peer support worker complements but does not duplicate or replace the roles of therapists, case managers, and other treatment team members. Peer support workers bring their knowledge of what it is like to live and thrive with mental health conditions and substance use disorders. They support people’s progress toward recovery and self-determined lives by sharing vital experiential information and actual examples of the power of recovery. The sense of mutuality created through the thoughtful sharing of experience influences modeling recovery and offering hope.
Family Preservation- An ongoing challenge in the child welfare field has been managing the potential conflict between partnering with families to prevent out-of-home placement or reunifying children with their families while also addressing safety concerns. Positive Connections is partnering with Health and Welfare to provide Family preservation services. Family preservation services are short-term, family-focused services designed to assist families in crisis by improving parenting and family functioning while keeping children safe.
