For The Clinician
The Life Adjustment Team provides the psychiatrist with an outpatient
staff that is professionally trained in community-based psychiatric
rehabilitation and social services. Observations and strategies
are discussed at scheduled Team meetings and by phone as needed.
Case Managers liaison between family, physician, and client, keeping
all parties involved in a case informed. Transportation to therapy
can be arranged when necessary. Team members are able to give direct
and timely feedback to keep clinicians apprised of problems or situations
that may require special attention.
The role of the Team is to provide a link to bridge the gap between
institutional care and independent living through outpatient therapy.
The Team works with many different psychiatrists and psychologists
whose patients are in need of extra support when discharging from
the hospital. Additionally, the Team can be utilized as a preventative
measure during a difficult time as an alternative to hospitalization
when appropriate. In less severe situations, such as difficulty
getting organized, isolative behavior, or lack of motivation, the
Team can provide the necessary support and resources to facilitate
short-term interventions.
