Enhanced Care Management
Through Enhanced Care Management (ECM), each young person is connected with a dedicated care coordinator who partners with them to create a plan tailored to their unique goals and circumstances.
What makes ECM at Casa de Amparo unique is our commitment to continuity and trust. Rather than being passed from one provider to another, youth have one consistent care manager by their side—someone who checks in regularly, coordinates across systems, and ensures that care is responsive, trauma-informed, and youth-driven.
