A Day and Life of a Case Manager (Paperback)

Paperback. What does it really take to become a case manager?The Day and Life of the Case Manager takes readers on an emotional journey through the lives of people connected by friendship, family, trauma, hardship, survival, and second chances. Beginning with experiences that reach far back to childhood, the story explores what can happen behind closed doors-the struggles families don't always talk about, the children who carry the burdens far beyond their eyes, and the people who must learn how to survive circumstances they never chose. As the characters grow older, their lives take different paths. Some confront abuse and loss. Others face broken relationships, difficult choices, parenting struggles, poverty, and systems designed to help people during their most vulnerable moments. Along the way, there are also moments of friendship, healing, education, independence, love, and new beginnings. But beneath all these stories is another story quietly unfolding.Someone has been watching, listening, learning, and carrying these experiences forward.Who is this person behind the stories? And how will these experiences eventually lead to the life of the case manager? The Day and Life of the Case manager is a story about the people behind the paperwork, the circumstances behind the decisions, and the life experiences that can teach someone the true meaning of compassion, empathy, advocacy, and understanding.Because before there is a case file, there is a person. And every person has a story. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
