From Anger Management to Collaborative Care
Following a recent removal from his father’s custody, fifteen-year-old Mark expressed a strong desire not to return home. When he was placed in ACS’ care until a suitable home was found, our social worker Alaysia reached out to Mark when he returned to school. Through collaboration with the guidance counselor and ACS worker, Alaysia addressed his immediate needs and facilitated placement in a group home that could meet Mark’s longer-term needs.
Planning for the Future
Today, Mark is working with Alaysia in navigating the challenge of finding the right medicine management and mental health services outside of school. They are working together to plan his transition into a care coordination program within The Jewish Board network. With Alaysia’s support, Mark feels optimistic about his future.
