What is the Case Management Certificate Program?
  • The Family Services Alliance (FSA) has developed a series of trainings designed to support the development of knowledge and practice in case management among family support organizations and to enhance the case management capacity within family support programs.
  • An individual who successfully completes the full series will receive a certificate of completion.
For whom is the Program intended?
  • Staff members of family support organizations who work directly with families, and who may not have a degree in social work, counseling, or a related field.
¿Cuales son los beneficios?
