Intervents could include crisis plan development and medication management, referral for chemical abuse/dependency assessment, employment support, individual therapy and family therapy. Case managers help to manage schedules and appointments, and can provide transportation. They work to develop a comprehensive treatment pacakge designed to keep the family together.
