Community Advocacy
We provide community advocacy by bridging the gap between those in need and the resources and services available to them.
- One way we do this is by providing community casework to provider-referred clients whose needs require more specific attention than what providers are often unable to provide due to overwhelming schedules and/or caseloads. Our community casework includes:
•Helping individuals navigate a range of services, organizations, and programs that can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate.
•Rendering assistance in the areas of program enrollment, completing online applications, accessing community services, scheduling appointments, ensuring proper instructions are received and understood, attending medical and other appointments with clients, asking the right questions, and other services.
•Meeting with clients to develop an understanding of that client’s specific circumstances, assessing the needs and services available, developing a plan to meet those needs, and collaborating with other professionals such as doctors, counselors, and organizations such as child welfare, social services, food banks, housing, and other service providers as needed.
•Help clients apply for government assistance and find financial and community services as needed.
•Coordinating and managing services for clients, like health or social services, ensuring they do not fall between the cracks of provider-client referrals and follow-up.
•Working directly with individuals and families to ensure they gain access to the appropriate support and services, care coordination, referrals, and linkages to resources and community agencies.
•Maintaining case records.
•Meeting regularly with clients to provide ongoing support, ensuring sustainable, improved outcomes.
