Ongoing support (case management)

Case managers work with parents to support children with serious mental health issues.

They create a plan for a child’s needs: social, emotional, health, school and vocational.

To get a case manager:

• A mental health professional must assess the child

• The assessment must show that the child has a severe emotional disturbance
