Hi,
I am on Social Security for Mental/Emotional disorders and part of the type of program you were talking about. They have really helped me alot with my daily living.
I have a Casemanager who comes to check on me twice a week. She helps me with paperwork for Medicaid and things. She helps me get to the grocery store and food pantrys when I do not have transportation. She basically helps make sure that I am Ok and they helped me with my current housing, based on my income HUD.
I know of people with children, and they are mentally disabled and by going through the program the casemanager can help in the cases of clients with children. I have known people who have lost temp. custody, and with the help of the program, and casemanager, stand up for the person and let them know that they are being 'Monitored' by the program and they look at this as a parent getting help and the caseworker can help with letting the people know the progress made and assure that the parent and children are ok, and it works to the parents advantage.
I hope this all works out for you in the best positive way- Best Wishes-Chris
