The Refugee Services Intensive Case Manager plays a vital role in meeting the needs of refugees with significant mental health or medical vulnerabilities, working in collaboration with the Resettlement Case Manager. They ensure the timely linkage of vulnerable refugees to appropriate medical or mental health clinicians, facilitate their attendance at crucial appointments, and provide supportive counseling and guidance to aid in their acclimation and integration into the community. Crisis intervention support is offered when necessary, and the case manager identifies and connects refugees to additional support services, assisting with housing, public benefits, employment, education, and other resources. Maintaining a caseload of intensive case management clients, the case manager upholds diligent record-keeping practices and fosters positive relationships with medical and mental health providers while actively seeking new partnerships to enhance services.
