Licensed, experienced therapists counsel individuals, couples, families and
groups on a variety of personal and family issues. Counselors help clients
develop better ways of understanding and coping, and they facilitate prevention,
support and educational group programming. Care managers engage in a vari-
ety of activities with clients to restore dignity, hope and meaning when it seems
as if life’s struggles are insurmountable. Care managers help clients establish
short- and long-term goals, and link them with the appropriate community-
based support services, such as connection to counseling services, financial
assistance, credit counseling, advocacy, local resources and
entitlement enrollment.
