Clinical Case Management
Clinical Case Management aims to provide short-term and goal-oriented interventions for students with concerns in singular or multiple life areas. Clinical Case Management directly supports students in overcoming obstacles, reducing distress, and connecting to appropriate on- and off-campus resources by meeting with students as an included service from Student Health and Counseling, located within the Lauderdale Health Center.
The scope of Clinical Case Management includes:
- Helping students identify basic need areas, personal goals, and barriers to resources
- Identifying paths for students to access and expand their support network
- Offering an empathic perspective and guidance on utilizing their support network to manage stressors.
- Communicating with campus partners and off-campus resources to advocate for the student and provide supportive collateral information.
- Reviewing Student of Concern reports and managing cases referred to/by Geneseo CAREs.
How to Schedule:
Students can directly request a case management appointment online via the student health portal, MyHealth (for step-by-step instructions, visit Using the My Health Portal). As with all on-campus offices and resources, faculty and staff are encouraged to provide Clinical Case Management information to students whom they have identified as “in-need” of this intervention.
What to Expect:
Upon requesting a case management appointment, our Clinical Case Manager, Rachel Radovich-Chu, LMHC will reach out to schedule via secure message on the student health portal. Depending on your circumstances, you may have one or multiple appointments throughout the semester; however all students will have an initial appointment to assess wellness, areas of need, and determine best steps going forward.
