Building Stability and Independence
Sometimes people need more than one service or help figuring out what comes next. A change in mental health, housing, family circumstances, involvement with the justice system or another life challenge can quickly become difficult to navigate.
Oaks provides case management, community-based programs and family support that help individuals and families coordinate care, access resources, and work toward independence.

When to Reach Out
You may want to reach out if you or someone you care about:
- Is having difficulty navigating services or resources
- Needs ongoing support to remain stable in the community
- Is moving from one level of care or life stage to another
- Needs help building independence or everyday life skills
- Is involved with the criminal justice system and needs community-based support
Every service has its own eligibility requirements and referral process. Our team can help you determine which options may fit your needs.
Find the Right Fit
Support is based on what is happening in your life and what you need to move forward. That may mean connecting with treatment, learning new skills, finding practical resources, navigating a transition or having someone help you understand the options available.
Living with a serious and persistent mental illness and/or substance use disorder, can make it harder to manage everyday needs and maintain stability in the community. Intensive case management provides ongoing support to help adults navigate those challenges, reduce the need for hospitalization and improve quality of life.
Support may include engagement and assessment, individualized service planning, connections to treatment and community resources, system advocacy and care coordination.
For someone experiencing mental health challenges, involvement with the justice system can quickly create additional barriers.
Through jail diversion and correctional case management, our team works with law enforcement, including Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) trained officers, to help divert non-violent individuals with mental health needs from incarceration and connect them with community-based services.
Support may include case management, transition and reentry planning, connections to mental health and substance use treatment, and help accessing housing, benefits and other community resources.
