Sometimes the case the case supervisor, if the situation is challenging, the supervisor will visit the client.

We also have licensed social workers on staff and nurse practitioners on staff who will conduct home visits depending on the situation.

If there is a need for a more clinical approach to engage with the individual, we will request the assistance of either our nurse or our social work to work on the engagement process with the individual.

We also have access to visiting psychiatric services provided by the Department of Social Services where we can request a psychiatric evaluation to be conducted.
