Adult Services
Johnson County Mental Health Center uses a strengths-based model of case management, which focuses on recognizing and utilizing the strengths of individuals. The purpose of case management in the strengths model is to assist people recovering and reclaiming their lives by identifying, securing, and sustaining the range of resources needed to live, work, and play as fully integrated citizens of the communities in which they live.
The strengths model is based on a set of core principles that in part value the unique strengths and attributes of all individuals and view the community as a place of strength and resources. Strengths-based case management also holds that the primary setting for our work is in the community.
Through a community-based approach, case managers can directly assist people to access helpful community resources, teach daily living skills in each person's living/working environment, as well as observe and assist people in learning coping skills and skills and social skills needed to develop healthy relationships within their communities.
Adult Services may also include a variety of specialty services that help meet specific needs in a more comprehensive way.
