【 摘 要 】

IntroductionAs demand for intensive case management services continues to outpace supply, community mental health agencies in Toronto, Ontario, introduced Short-Term Case Management (STCM).ObjectiveThis study sought to explore case managers’ perspectives and experiences with this new service delivery model.MethodsFocus groups were conducted with twenty-one case managers, and transcripts analyzed using thematic analysis.ResultsEmerging themes suggest that despite embracing a recovery approach, case managers expressed mixed views on the acceptability and appropriateness of this service delivery model as an intervention.ConclusionThe ideal population for this intervention are adults with mental health issues in need of system navigation, and those motivated to address their goals. Further research is needed to establish fidelity criteria.
