Adolescent Services

CLINICALLY-INFORMED ADOLESCENT CASE MANAGEMENT 

Camden Case Management specializes in serving the unique needs of adolescents and their families, offering comprehensive guidance and support across the domains of scholastic activity, social life, physical and mental health, parent coaching, and family dynamics. Each adolescent is paired with a case manager who conducts a comprehensive assessment, creates an individualized service plan, and acts as a collaborative advocate in the implementation and maintenance of that plan to build a solid foundation for success. 

The case manager actively guides clients in the development of essential skills and areas of personal growth including self-care, setting attainable goals, assertive communication, time management, physical and psychological wellness, and extracurricular activities. This process involves creating and maintaining a realistic schedule and balancing the demands of each domain while affirming the client’s strengths and encouraging improvement. As part of the client’s service plan, the case manager also connects them to vetted outside resources, including various forms of social, clinical, and educational or vocational support. 

With the client’s consent, the case manager communicates with key individuals in their support network, including therapists, school personnel, physicians, and other professionals to facilitate cohesion and coordination amongst the team. As a central, collaborative advocate, the case manager helps maximize the efficiency of the client’s resources and facilitates rapid progress toward the client’s goals. 

For those clients transitioning from inpatient to outpatient treatment, the decrease in structure and support while returning to the stressors and triggers of their home environment can be a significant challenge. Camden Case Management provides key assistance before, during, and after this transition, helping the client adhere to their aftercare plan and make effective use of their support system. In addition to a case manager, clients may also be paired with a mentor and/or a companion who works closely with them to develop and practice healthy habits for daily life during this crucial period. 

Because family dynamics play an integral role in a client’s recovery, Camden Case Management offers a bi-weekly Family Dynamics Support Group led by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. This group provides a nurturing environment for families to come together, share experiences, and acquire valuable insights from an expert facilitator, and is an additional resource to complement parent coaching.
