Nonprofit will now serve youth in Baltimore City

Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas (VOACC)?today announced the expansion of its Targeted Case Management (TCM)/Care Coordination programming to Baltimore after the nonprofit was?selected for an up to 5-year contract to provide services for youth and their families by Behavioral Health System Baltimore, Inc. VOACC has?historically operated TCM in Montgomery County and Prince George's County and has implemented and operated TCM services for adults and children using a Systems of Care approach since?March 2014.?

The Targeted Case Management program allows Volunteers of America Chesapeake & Carolinas to expand the scope of its mental health services. The program serves adults and children that are enrolled - or are eligible to enroll - in the Maryland Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) and struggle with serious and persistent mental health challenges. TCM provides case management, referrals to community services and resources, crisis intervention?and education referral and assistance, among other services.

"With heightened anxiety surrounding health risks, job loss and schools closing, this is an incredibly stressful and overwhelming time for adults, children and families," said?Targeted Case Management Supervisor Kimberly Cobb. "We are pleased to be able to expand our services so we can meet the needs of more people living outside of our original reach. In the past 26 years, VOACC has built a diverse array of behavioral health services and a reputation for successfully serving those with the most severe and complex challenges.?We look forward partnership opportunities in Baltimore City."

Referrals come from agencies and organizations such as DJS, DSS and schools; adults, youth over the age of 16 and caregivers may also self-refer. To learn more about the programming and the referral process, visit?https://www.voachesapeake.org/targeted-case-management
