Youth Care Coordination and Case Management
Start Treatment Early
Being a young person at times can be challenging. Young people can experience mental illness and substance misuse. Adolescents are affected by mental health needs, including anxiety, disruptive behavior, and mood changes.
Some of these issues can result from drug or alcohol use, which can lead to life-threatening situations. Youth struggling with mental health disorders or substance use can improve their quality of life with the proper support and resources.

Care Coordination
What is the Behavioral Health Case Management Program?
Do you need support to link with services, find therapies, substance use programs, family support, etc.? The Behavioral Health Case Management Program is here to support your family.
In collaboration with Broward Behaviroal Health Coaltion (BBHC), the Behavioral Health Case Management program offers intensive supportive services, such as coordinated case management and face-to-face support for families and caregivers of youth with mental health and substance use concerns.
The purpose of this program is to empower families so they can meet their goals and their children can thrive while overcoming barriers to accessing services.
The distinction between care coordinator and case management is that care coordination is telephone support and short-term care. While the case management program care is intensive, face-to-face, and generally lasts up to 3 months.
Case Management
Who is Eligible for the Behavioral Health Case Management Program?
Children and young adults 21 years old or younger with behavioral health concerns. Please know the youth or young adult does not need a mental health diagnosis.
