What are the responsibilities and job description for the Case Manager - Community Support Program position at FAMILY & CHILDRENS CENTER?
Do Work That Changes Lives.

Family & Children’s Center is seeking a compassionate, motivated Case Manager to join our Community Support Program (CSP).
In this role, you’ll work directly with individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness, helping them navigate challenges, connect with resources, develop support systems, manage symptoms, and work toward their personal recovery goals.

Purpose-driven work

Relationship-centered care
Build meaningful professional relationships with clients and collaborate with families and treatment providers.
Community-based work
