What do case managers do? 

An ODHH Case Manager is a dedicated professional who works closely with individuals to provide personalized support and guidance. They focus on the unique needs of each client, ensuring that their well-being and quality of life are prioritized. 

Case Manger Role and Responsibilities:

Case managers listen carefully to your concerns, understand your goals so they can support you. Whether it’s accessing healthcare, housing, or social services, case managers are by your side.

Case managers get to know you, help identify your strengths, needs and preferences, and adjust their work to fit your needs. 

• Resource Connection: Need assistance? Case managers connect you to community resources, such as food banks, counseling services, job training programs, and more to ensure you have access to the support you need.

• Coordination: Case managers are the ultimate master coordinators. They collaborate with service and support professionals to create a comprehensive support plan for you.

• Empowerment: Case managers believe in empowering you. They educate you about available options, help you make informed decisions, and encourage self-advocacy.

Remember, ODHH Case Managers are here for you. Reach out anytime; we are ready to listen and support you on your journey.  Individuals with questions or clients are welcome to email the team at odhh.cms@dshs.wa.gov or email the case manager directly.
