Positive Start: Transitioning From Incarceration
Transitional Case Management (TCM) provides counseling, support, encouragement
and short-term assistance to HIV+ men and women who are leaving corrections
and returning to the community. Case managers work with clients to address
primary health and living needs including housing, entitlements, medical care,
counseling, drug treatment and other basic support. Case managers help the
client establish short and long-term goals and link him or her with appropriate
community based support services that will help them meet their goals.
Transitional Case Management is a short-term intensive case management service
that assists HIV+ men and women in gaining access to the range of medical,
social, family and support services they need to become self sufficient upon
return to their community.
