CHAPTER ONE Introduction to Case ManagementSurviving and Thrivin.docxtiffanyd4
CHAPTER ONE Introduction to Case Management
Surviving and Thriving as a Case Manager
Ellen
The agency I work for is located in the northwestern United States. We serve all age ranges. It is a community mental health center. The center has several different campuses across the county. I believe they serve around 18,000 people: children, adults and older adults. And the programs that they offer are quite extensive. They have counseling services, forensic services, housing and rehabilitation, case management, intensive case management, and then different psycho-educational sorts of things they do as a group. I had two positions within the agency. It is not unusual to stay in an agency and assume a new position.
At first I worked for a program that provided extended support and we provided intensive case management to adults and older adults who were chronically mentally ill. So I worked with a lot of folks who had psychotic disorders and anxiety and depression that were living mostly in adult family homes in the community, which are small residential facilities. They have twenty-four–hour care within the homes and so my role as a case manager was to go to those homes a few times a week to do just case management things.The case manager's job is to make sure clients are thriving in their environment, and everyone is safe and healthy.
I worked in that position for about two years and I carried a caseload of between 20 and 30 people at any given time. We spent a lot of time traveling between houses. And then with the shifts in the budget, I transferred to a different position. I worked in one of the adult community support clinics in the south side of the county. At that particular clinic I was a case manager. Most of our clients would come to us. These clients were more capable of managing public transportation in order to make it to appointments, but they were still very much mentally ill. They had other marginalizing sorts of issues: housing issues, financial issues.
· —Permission granted from Ellen Carruth, 2012, text from unpublished interview
In this agency we focus on meeting the needs of individuals and their families. The individuals, our clients, have difficult medical diagnoses and our goal is to allow them to live in their homes. In additional, all of our clients have other needs, reflecting social, educational, financial, and other family concerns. Meeting these multiple needs requires service coordination. We provide services that meet the specific needs of each client. And we involve the client and the families in service delivery. Coordination and integration support the management process. Sometimes professionals working in mental health and developmental disabilities do not understand how to work together to serve a single client. We provide the bridge.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Opening Session: We are Family? –
Extending, extended family
Renay Sanders, MSSA, LISW Synergyforce,
Moderator
Those Ohio families caring for children that are
impacted by the child welfare and juvenile
justice systems each come with their own
perspective of the life/work they are engaged in.
This opening panel will address issues that are
uniting and speak to issues that separate them
from supporting each other. Panelists will
provide perspectives from the various roles of
children services,
• Primary (birth) Parent
• Foster / Adoptive Parent
• Kinship Care Givers
#1: What parents and youth need to
know about Bridges
Denise St. Clair, Moderator
Panel: Colleen Tucker-Buck, BSS, MBA, &
Sara Levels, ODJFS, Fawn Gadel, FYLaw
The Bridges Program is a new program for
youth emancipated (18-21) from the public
children services agencies. Our panel will
discuss how parents can assist youth in the
decision-making and eligibility requirements
for this program. The program and its legal
processes will be described.
#2: Healing Sexual Abuse Tool Kit
Jim Miller, LISW-S is an adoptive parent, past
foster parent, mental health therapist and retired
CEO of the Village Network
This workshop will present a tool kit of parenting
techniques and approaches that help children
overcome the trauma of child sexual abuse. It
is a new extension of Jim Miller’s prior
workshops. (However prior attendance is not
needed to benefit from this workshop.)
Youth Presentations – Colleen Tucker-
Buck, BSS, MBA, ODJFS Program Manager
This is an opportunity to hear from youth who
have emancipated from the child welfare
system of care. Youth will share from their
perspective about how the system has
impacted their lives, what the new Bridge
program would have done for them as well as
give insights into how families can serve them
most effectively.
#3: Life Long Connections:
Permanency for Older Youth
Brian Lowery, Lowery Training Associates &
Jamole Callahan, OCWTP
When planning for permanency with
adolescents, we have to think and use
approaches differently when planning for
younger children. Permanency for older youth
is not centered on the living arrangement, it is
not simply providing independent living
services, and itis not just offering adoption.
Instead, it provides youth with the opportunity
to forge lifelong permanent connections to
people they identify as important. This training
allows participants to experience the impact of
permanent connections and why they are
important. Finally, participants will come to
understand how adolescent development
relates to permanency.

#4: Connecting Across Difference
Dot Erickson-Anderson, MRE, LSW &
parents from different life experiences
In a time of change and adversity, as families
within the child-welfare arena, we are
challenged to relate to many other parents,
workers, and children who do not share our
understanding of the work we do or even the
world we live in. We will Identify the
opportunities and challenges inherent in
creating a partnership with others that opens
the door to solutions that are in the child ’s
best interests and an outcome of
permanency. We will hear of the positive
outcomes that have arisen in this work and
explore concrete communication skills that
help us in connecting across our differences.
Support Group Hour. Trainers and
OFCA Board Members are available to meet
one-on-one or in small groups with
participants who want to connect over specific
issues. Participants are asked to suggest the
topic they would like to discuss on their
registration form. Examples of topics include:
• Moving from foster care to adoption
• Getting along with my child’s birth family
• Experiencing allegations
• Difference in public & private agencies
• How to build a support system
• Fostering after age 60
• Permanent children support
• Etc.
