Non-Medicaid Care Coordination
Villa of Hope’s Care Coordination program meets with a family to develop a team of natural and formal supports. In order to create a proactive plan to meet a family’s needs, you can expect a minimum of 2 visits per month. Typical areas of focus include developing healthy coping mechanisms, positive family interactions, appropriate social and communication skills and tools for academic success. In most cases, the program lasts 9-12 months. The goal is that youth and families leave the program with new skills, a sense of empowerment and hope for the future.
