- Needs Assessment: We will assess a client's need for service, eligibility, and perform a baseline assessment of functional abilities.
- Treatement Planning: Caseworkers, supervisors, and the clinical team develop individually-tailored treatment plans based on needs assessment and the long/short term goals of the client.
- Linkage: We link clients to community resources (housing, education, employement, medical care, etc.).
- Monitoring: We perform on-going monitoring, at least weekly, as well as follow-up assessments to gauge the efficacy of services and programs.
- Advocacy: The best interest of the client is integral to our program.
The TLC operates based on the following principles:
FOCUSED-CARE: Caseworkers maintain at least weekly contact with each client, ensuring basic needs are being appropriately met and assisting with unmet needs as necessary.
PSYCHO-EDUCATION: Classes at the TLC are aimed at improving independent living, social function, and reduced symptomology via psycho-education, early detection/prevention, and skills training.
HANDS-ON: Clients are given an opportunity to “practice” skills learned in various classes, such as grocery shopping, riding public transportatoin, and social interaction.
