~ Replicable Systems for Establishing Sustanable In-house Capacity ~

A Smarter Approach

Serious organizations recognize the value of systems that enhance skill acquisition, retention, and growth stemming from training investments. These systems by design are replicable and sustainable to help organizations become less dependent on external trainers and programs.

Our Case Management and Care Coordination (CM) Series is such a system. You will be in a position to learn how to utilize the system to adapt what you are already doing - NOT start from scratch!

How The System Works

Delivering services to clients requires efficient case management achieved by empowering the individual receiving services. Effective empowerment comes from being "assistive" and collaboratively teaching and guiding. Our system prioritizes three essential success keys to achieve that end.

  1. Effective Engagement of Individual clients being served: Ensure that frontline professionals are equipped with proven skills for enhanced and effective client "contact moments". Examine evidence-based approaches and use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) skills to achieve durable client outcomes.

  2. Skilled Coordination of Resources clients need: Learn collaborative strategies for identifying, engaging, and coordinating resources and services clients need. Explore the use of "warm hand-offs" to ensure clients' utilize the resources.

  3. Family Engagement in Community: Learn proven methods for engaging and leveraging the support that families the client values can provide through Family Group Decision-Making, Teaming, and Conferencing.

How "CM Days" Is Organized

It is 3-Days focused on how to institute a sustainable in-house collaborative case management system. Think of it as an evidence-based "3-legged stool" approach emphasizing collaboration, and can be replicated.

  • Session-1 (May 1): Approaches for engaging the Individual one on one.
  • Session-2 (May 2): Learn to identify, engage, and coordinate available Resources.
  • Session-3 (May 3): Leveraging proven methods for effective Family engagement.

Learning Objectives & Intended Outcomes

    o Participants will acquire practical skills in case management and care coordination.

  5. Family Involvement Strategies:

  6. Evidence-Based Approach:

    This program has been developed as formal education for client-facing professionals in human, social and justice services fields. It teaches skills in the common elements of evidence-based approaches that practitioners must prioritize for helping clients they serve to acquire or strengthen their ability to perform critical life functions they may have “lost”. These skills are essential in any life domain for helping recipients of services to incrementally improve versus “punishing” or "rehabilitating".

Evidence-Based Practitioner
~ Masterclass & Certification ~

A structured curriculum of training and self-study credentialing procedure

The Evidence-Based Practitioner Masterclass and optional Certification (CEBP) program provides an outstanding vehicle for professional development and helps individuals become highly knowledgeable and skilled in the common elements of evidence-based approaches. The Certified Evidence-Based Practitioner (CEBP) credential is an option available to interested participants.

Attack The Cause, Not The Symptoms

Client caseloads continue to increase and be more complex with challenging "hard-to-serve" conditions compounding work being done. Frequently well-meaning practitioners and their agencies apply unproven methods to expeditiously move their clients along.

Unfortunately, with that approach clients will NOT be able to succeed on their own during 99.9% of the time they are away from the practitioner. Consequently, they return with bigger more entrenched conditions. The practitioner must now serve their current client load and the returning one!

The traditional approach represents short-term solutions that mostly compound issues, increase caseloads, run up expenses, and ultimately harms everyone in the process - much like applying a band-aid over a gaping bullet wound!

But, it doesn't have to be this way. There are better solutions which remind us to first remove the bullet and then stop the bleeding by using skillful proven approaches proven to "stop the bleeding" and heal the individual.

An essential part of the certification is our comprehensive online self-paced course designed to help participants acquire the essential skills for operating efficiently and with intention as an evidence-based professional.
