CRF inspires and mentors the next generation of behavioral health professionals!

Intensive Case Management (ICM) is a community-based program serving adults living with serious mental illness who require a higher level of support to achieve stability and independence. The program focuses on individuals with complex needs who may be at risk of hospitalization, homelessness, or disengagement from care.

ICM utilizes a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to provide comprehensive, individualized services in the community. Staff work closely with clients to coordinate care, support access to housing and benefits, assist with medication and treatment engagement, and build skills to promote recovery and independence.

With smaller caseloads and a strong emphasis on outreach, ICM allows staff to develop meaningful relationships with clients while delivering high-quality, person-centered care. This model is designed to improve overall outcomes, reduce crisis utilization, and support long-term community integration.
