CASE MANAGEMENT
& SUPPORTIVE CASES
Case Management & Supportive Services Need help with finding a job, housing, health insurance, going back to school or getting your GED? We’re here to help. Case Management is when you have a one on one relationship with a person who helps get you moving in the right direction. For example, you want to get your GED but don’t know where to start. They will give you the tools in order to take the steps in the right direction. Your case manager may refer you to a program that helps you obtain your GED, or they may make a call to a contact in order to register you to take the test. However it’s your duty to make sure you go to your appointments on time, study for the test and get a good grade.
