Medical Case Management and Medi-Cal Support

Our Medical Case Management helps survivors access timely, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed healthcare so they can begin healing and rebuilding their lives. Our team works closely with survivors to navigate the healthcare system, coordinate medical and mental health services, and overcome barriers such as language access, transportation, and understanding treatment plans. We provide individualized support to ensure continuity of care and advocate for survivors’ health needs across providers. We also offer hands-on Medi-Cal enrollment and benefits assistance. Survivors receive support with initial applications, renewals, plan selection, and troubleshooting coverage issues, helping ensure uninterrupted access to essential care. By combining medical case management with enrollment support, we help survivors access the healthcare they need to heal, stabilize, and move forward.
