PASS Intensive Case Management (ICM) provides in-person, evidence-supported case management services to District youth between the ages of 10-17 years old using the Transition to Independence Process (TIP), a strength-based, youth-driven model that supports young adults with emotional or behavioral difficulties. All youth receiving ICM services have access to community support services such as mentoring, tutoring, and after-school programming.
Services
The program provides weekly case management that aims to engage young adults in their own future planning process, providing them with developmentally appropriate, non-stigmatizing, culturally competent, and appealing services and supports.
The program focuses on goals related to relevant transition domains (i.e., educational goals including addressing truancy, educational opportunities post high school, living situation, personal effectiveness/wellbeing, and community-life functioning).
Upon case assignment, a PASS ICM case manager contacts the family to schedule an initial meeting to assess needs. The case manager works closely with the family, often meeting weekly but may increase frequency based on needs. Staff conduct screening assessments and academic and attendance assessments, when necessary; initiate consultations; and/or make referrals of warm hand-offs to home- and community-based services, as needed.
Case managers develop an individualized, strength-based service plan and implement individualized services with the family which may include TIP, mentoring services, academic supports, mental health supports, and/or community links to longer-term services and supports that will be available after the case manager is no longer working with the family.
