Case management and comprehensive community support services offer skill- building and support, case coordination, in-home advocacy support services, and community-based advocacy support to clients with the goal of educating and aiding in recovery and increased functioning in the community. High fidelity wraparound program provides intensive, family-driven coordination for youth who are involved in multiple systems of care, young adults up to age 21, if they are a current client. Using a team-based approach, our coordinators bring together behavioral health providers, schools, cyfd, and community partners to develop one shared plan centered on family voice and choice.

2. Ccbhc: in 2023, Unica was awarded a significant four-year grant totaling 4 million from the u.s. Department of health and human services, administered through the substance abuse and mental health services administration (samhsa). This grant is a component of a broader initiative under the community mental health act of 1963, aiming to expand the reach and efficacy of certified community behavioral health clinics (ccbhcs) across the united states. As one of the 63 clinics selected nationwide that year, our organization received this grant to establish and implement new ccbhc programs through the ccbhc planning, development, and implementation (ccbhc-pdi) program. This initiative continues to enable us to broaden our trauma-informed care services, focusing on integrating behavioral health with physical health to enhance overall health outcomes as we expand services to community members across the lifespan. Our clinical staff, specializing in trauma- informed treatment methods, are poised to use these funds to substantially improve our service delivery, expanding our capacity to support child and adult clients in healing from trauma.
