When you leave\, feel confident and ready to empower your participants through implementing RACMI core values. When you leave\, you’ll feel confident and prepared to empower your participants by implementing RACMI’s core values. \nTopics covered include: \n\nOverview and history of the RACMI\nDefining Case Management: Introduction to Dr. Ford’s approach to Case Management Journey Towards Self-Sufficiency\nHelping vs. Empowering your program participants\nFostering Self-Sufficiency\nEmpowerment Approach to Case Management\nEffective Case Management\nMotivation and Change\n\nIntended Audience: Case Managers and Supervisors (or front-line staff with relevant job duties regardless of title) are encouraged to attend. Take this training as a refresher or as a foundation for new Case Managers. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded. \nRefreshments: Light refreshments will be provided. \nAccessibility: The training will present in English.
