Targeted Case Management WES’s TCM program is at the forefront of similar providers when it comes to creating solutions that assist consumers in reaching a recovery level that no longer requires the aid of case managers. In fact, WES was one of only four behavioral health providers that were initially selected to implement flexible hours to extend the service into the evening (and also affords after-hour emergency contacts). Boasting the lowest turnover rate of TCM programs, WES has very experienced staff whose members are part of the fabric of the communities in which they serve. WES’s TCM program is also staffed by a forensic specialist and a drug and alcohol specialist who are in-home resources for the case managers.

Each day begins with Community Meting where Person in Recovery shares with their peers such as current events, their goals for the day and what they have learned about their illness. This is a time to also share a talent with the group. The Community meeting is facilitated by a client with a staff person present. The major groups focus on creating goals, decision making, discharge planning, family issues, medication education, symptoms management, diet and exercise, nutrition, hygiene, problem solving, and arts and craft. There is a library for the clients and some sessions are conducted there. On Fridays the major theme is socializing with each other and learning different ways to interact. We believe in a holistic way of treating the client and in some cases case conferences are necessary for the client.
