Engagement Training for Case Managers

A case plan only works if the client is willing to talk to you. Engagement training gives case managers the verbal techniques to open that door and keep it open, especially with clients living with mental illness, depression, or substance use.

Situations this prepares case managers for

  • A new client answers every intake question with one word and will not make eye contact.
  • A client you have worked with for months misses three appointments in a row after a relapse.
  • A client becomes tearful and overwhelmed halfway through a housing application.

What we focus on with case managers

  • Opening a first meeting so the client sets some of the agenda
  • Listening for what matters to the client before introducing your goals
  • Re-engaging after a missed appointment or a setback without blame
