Have you looked extensively into finding another case manager? Understandably finding one who's working for ~free/under your insurance is probably much harder, but still, being stuck to one facility isn't always worth it. I don't know if you even have other options, I just know the clinic we went to for a long time kind of sucked, and we didn't end up finding another until it literally shut down because all the doctors/etc. left.

technically the same program i get my therapist and medications from also has case managers, and i have been told they are supposed to call or see me on the off week where my therapists doesn't call or see me, but they have never once done these things or help with anything other than sometimes drive me to an appointment if they are available to do so and my therapist isn't (sometimes my therapy day will be sacrificed so my therapist just drives me to doctor instead or something, and they lowered it to every other week instead of once a week recently, despite once a week seemingly to cause more hope and progress compared to rarer meetings where suddenly meeting seems pointless)

 

what i had before was a community engagement specialist, which is like a subclass of case manager i guess, that is cracked. or she is just really good at it compared to others. she was like, me:"i need help with this", her:"okay, i'll come to your house and bring you to my office, we'll fill everything out together, i'll drop it off, i'll make any phone calls i can make, it'll get done"

 

normal case managers are like me:"i need help with this", them:"have you tried doing it all yourself? i will help by saying you have to just do the things, and if you can't, then i will say you have to make a bunch of phone calls or ride the bus to the government building or something, hey maybe i'll look up a number on google for you or something, good luck"

 

makes me very sad
