The Care Management team at Jawonio consists of 6 Care Managers, 3 Peer Specialists, a Program Supervisor, Coordinator and Clerk. Our Care Managers meet regularly with individuals with mental health challenges to help them to set their personalized goals, provide supports and the coordination of services that they need in place to achieve those goals.

Greg began working with Lorraine who was assigned to be his Care Manager. At the beginning, Greg admittedly was not following through with what he was supposed to do with Lorraine or anyone else. He joined the PROS program at Jawonio, worked with Dr. Shaw to get his medication at the proper doses then worked on himself to figure out what he wanted to focus on in terms of his wellness and other educational and career goals.
Greg has continued to thrive in school and is almost done with his Bachelors Degree, he will graduate next year.
Greg is now exploring how he can pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. He has many ideas for inventions and a couple in particular that are in development and would be potential candidates for patents. He is working with a professor from his school who has been mentoring him. He is also working towards establishing a company through which the inventions can be pursued and patented. We look forward to seeing great things from Greg in the future!
Congratulations to Greg on his success and for the future successes yet to come!
