Behavioral Health Support Services

At Oaklawn, we believe in treating the whole person. That’s why we offer a full range of supportive services to help you meet your mental health goals and access tools and resources for a full and fulfilling life.

Case Management

Our case managers, sometimes called care facilitators, help individuals and families navigate services, set goals and stay connected to the care and resources they need. They work alongside clients to coordinate supports, advocate for needs and track progress toward greater stability and independence.

Some ways a care facilitator can help:

  • Understand your need for services and help you set goals
  • Map out steps you can take to meet your goals
  • Refer you to programs and services at Oaklawn or in the community to help you meet your goals
  • Follow up to make sure you’re getting what you need
  • Evaluate your progress and make changes to your care plan as needed

Skills Training

Skills training focuses on building everyday skills that support mental health and daily life, such as communication, problem-solving, emotional regulation and independent living skills. Services are hands-on and personalized, helping clients practice and use new skills at home, school, work and in the community.

Some ways a skills trainer can help:

  • Identify what skills are needed
  • Teach new skills – everything from learning to express your feelings to organization and budgeting
  • Help you put your newly-learned skills into practice

Peer Support

Peer support connects you with trained professionals who have lived experience with mental health, substance use recovery and navigating the mental health system. Peers offer encouragement, guidance and hope, helping clients feel understood, supported and empowered on their recovery journey.

Oaklawn also offers family peer support, provided by professionals who have lived experience as caregivers navigating the mental health system for a child or loved one. Family peer support professionals work alongside families whose child is receiving mental health services, offering support, education, advocacy and hope based on firsthand experience.

Some ways a peer support professional can help:

  • Connect you with mental health or substance use treatment
  • Assist in developing a personal recovery or safety plan
  • Provide guidance and encouragement during treatment and recovery
  • Advocate for you within the mental health system
