Case Management Training Program
The new Case Management training program consists of an online training module through TrainPA and an in-person/virtual skills training. The online Case Management Overview training will provide a foundation from which case managers will build skills and gain a comprehensive understanding of case management, and guide participants through what case management is, how it came about, the core roles of case managers, and provide resources to assist in the delivery of case management. The Case Management Skills training, which can be completed in-person or virtually, will build on the information provided in the online training and provide participants with the opportunity to practice case management skills. Participants will also be provided with tools to assist in identifying resources within their network and community to assist the individuals they serve. Both trainings are required to be completed within 365 days of hire for SCA staff and their contracted providers. The online Case Management Overview training must be completed before the Case Management Skills training. Click here for more information.
