Some of the most difficult situations families face will be the heartbreaking issues of a family member with mental illness or substance abuse. Our care managers have experience and training in issues such as:
- depression in the elderly
- behaviors related to dementia
- schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
- legal issues of capacity and mental illness
- Baker Act process (involuntary psychiatric evaluation/placement)
- resources and facilities for treatment
- alcoholism in the elderly
- substance abuse or medication misuse
We help you navigate the system of help and get the best for your loved one in a tough situation. We also lend an ear to your frustrations. Although these situations may not have a lot of easy answers, we work hard to make them better for all involved.
