Community Assisance Network: A Home-Based Case Management Program

The Community Assistance  Network (CAN) helps individuals of all ages to function better in their communities and learn and/or maintain a variety of life skills. CAN clinicians provide practical and emotional support to help you achieve your goals.

Following an initial assessment, you and your CAN clinician work together to identify strengths and weaknesses, areas where support is needed, and goals toward stability and change. Generally, services are available for one to three hours per week, during regular business hours. Services are provided on a fee-for-service basis. All CAN services are billed at an hourly rate. These services are not reimbursed through your health insurance.
