Children’s Blended Case Management
The Children’s Blended Case Management Unit provides assistance for children 6 to 17 years of age (21 years if still enrolled in school) with a behavioral or mental health diagnosis, or intellectual disability in the community or residential treatment facility setting with low, moderate, and severe needs. All referrals are made and approved through the Philadelphia Behavioral Health System but anyone from the case management program can assist with the referral process. The program’s goals are to connect children to services and resources which will help with their recovery and improvement, collaborate with service providers to monitor consumer participation and satisfaction, help coordinate existing services, and to advocate and provide additional support for the child.
