Children's Case Management

By creating a family-focused and family-centered system of care, Porter-Starke Services addresses the comprehensive needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families.

Case Management services are provided to children and families who struggle with mental health issues.  These services are provided in the child or adolescent's home and community.  Services can include therapeutic or mediation services within the home between parent and child, help for the parent in accessing appropriate financial, health, or psychiatric services or networking with other agencies as needed.  Further services include crisis management, budgeting, health assistance and advocating on behalf of the client and family.  

Children Services Case Managers also provide assistance to the parent in designing and implementing in-home behavioral programming to help the child or adolescent accept and interact within appropriate limits and to engage in positive behaviors and experiences within the home and community.
