THE CAPTAIN AND COACH APPROACH TO CASE MANAGEMENT! HOW TO USE MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING, SOCIAL SYSTEMS STRATEGIES AND OTHER INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO REINVENT CASE MANAGEMENT

This is a webinar! 

While much has changed in the world of workforce development over the last few decades, the approach to case management has remained the same.  Job seekers report that case management often feels like a subservient relationship with the case manager having all the power.  Hard-to-employ adults and youth do not respond well to this dynamic because it feels too dominating even when done by the most well-meaning case managers.  This old approach to case management inadvertently works against people making employment progress because it activates the resistance to authority figures that is common in the hard-to-employ.

Case managers also report a lot of frustration with the current model. Hard-to-employ job seekers do not follow through on what has been discussed in the case management sessions.  Many case managers feel like they often work harder to help the job seeker than the job seekers work to help themselves.  Case managers are tired of the relapse into old behaviors that is a chronic problem with the old model of case management.  Despite these problems, case managers are still working in an outdated model because they don’t have another way of working.  Case managers are burning out because of the on-going use of antiquated ineffective approaches to case management that do not meet the challenges they are facing today.

These are some of the many limitations and gaps between the traditional case management model and today’s hard-to-employ job seekers.  It is clear that current case management practices are not working.  The Captain and Coach Approach to Case Management is a revolutionary new approach to working with all types of adult and youth job seekers.  This radically different way of working addresses these issues and takes employment counseling to a new place designed to empower people to lead their own employment process.  It changes the entire paradigm of the old case management relationship.  The changes start with orientation, the very first words the staff person says in the initial session and continues to change everything about the staff and job seeker dynamic.

In this new model, job seekers and staff are seen as a team with the job seeker in the role of captain and the staff person in the role of a supportive coach.  The coach guides the job seeker through a goal setting, option sorting and decision making learning process.  The job seeker makes choices and takes responsibility for their outcomes because the choices come from them and are not imposed on them by the case manager. They lead and make progress like the captain of a sports team with the backing of their coach.

One of the biggest weaknesses in traditional case management is that it does not address the powerful hidden influence of anti-work friends, family and other people in the community on the lives of the job seeker.  This social system of the hard-to-employ people that surrounds the job seekers we work with is typically filled with anti-work individuals and some pro-work individuals.  This system takes over when people leave their meeting with their case manager.  It discourages employment progress and it is a powerful reason that people relapse into old anti-work behaviors and attitudes.

Traditional case management completely overlooks these forces. This lack of a holistic perspective about the influences on the job seeker explains why people do not make more progress.  The anti-work people are hard at work to erase any progress toward employment.  This new model uses social systems theory to help the captain identify the pro and anti-work people in their lives.  The pro-work people are organized by the captain with the help of the coach into a supportive team that will help the captain resist the influence of the anti-work individuals.  Strategies are developed to help the captain anticipate and overcome how the anti-work individuals will try to sabotage the progress of the captain. Using this model your new “client” is not just the individual, but also their social system that can provide wrap around support to help the captain stay on the pathway to employment progress.

In this new model, we take a very different approach to addressing barriers to employment.  The webinar will show you how to walk alongside the captain and see the barrier through their eyes.  Learn how to see what benefits the captain gets from the barrier and find out how to introduce change talk that helps the captain reevaluate the supposed benefits that come from the barrier.  Instead of just sounding critical about the barrier like in the old case management model, we work to understand the barrier and help the captain reframe how it fits into their future.

Stop wasting your time with outdated approaches to case management!

Regardless of what population you serve, what your job title is or what type of program you work in, if you want to transform your work into the best state-of-the-art practices in in workforce development, then take this webinar and make the way you work into the Captain and Coach Approach to Case Management!

Code of Conduct

Help us cultivate a Centre we all enjoy by reviewing and following the Code of Conduct.

Our Purpose

Thank you for being a part of the Career Development Professional Centre. To ensure that all members have the best possible experience, we have a few ground rules that we ask everyone to adhere to. This code of conduct applies equally to every person in the community and is intended to foster an online space that is inclusive, safe, and welcoming to all.

Centre Rules

Be welcoming

We strive to be a place that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. We aim to be a place that promotes excellence and innovation in career and workforce development. Please extend respect to all members; we all come from different backgrounds and levels of knowledge and there is no such thing as a stupid question.

Be respectful

We won’t all agree all the time, but when we disagree don’t let those disagreements turn into personal attacks. A place where people feel uncomfortable or threatened will not be a productive one. When having discussions in the online community, commenting on a library article, or participating in other Centre activities, strive for productive conversations around the content being presented, not the person behind the content. Any comments determined to be “hate speech” towards any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the comment has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Hate Speech could include and is not limited to:

  • Violent threats or language directed against another person
  • Discriminatory jokes, language, or materials
  • Defamatory or abusive language or materials
  • Profane or illegal materials
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior

A good rule of thumb is to never say anything that you wouldn’t be comfortable with the world seeing or that you wouldn’t want anyone knowing came from you. We ask that you keep in mind the focus of this place, which is building excellence and innovation in career and workforce development for all individuals.

Be considerate of the purpose of the Centre

The Centre focuses on building excellence and discussing innovation in the career and workforce development field. The goal of the social learning community is to communicate goals, challenges, constructive feedback, and questions in relation to career and workforce development. The Centre should be a place for continued learning and development as well as a place to discuss the future of our field (solicitation without written consent by the Project or Advisory team, is strictly prohibited). Any post or comment that is determined to be soliciting any individual or group will be deleted, and the user account may be locked until an investigation regarding the post has been concluded. The user may be given a written warning or removed from the CPDC platform depending on the findings of the investigation.

Post your discussions or documents in the most appropriate group or topic

Especially within the social learning community, make reasonable efforts to ensure that posts and materials are allocated to the appropriate group or topic. This will prevent cluttering the feed and make it easier for everyone to find the information that they are seeking. Individuals who do this repeatedly will be contacted by one of the group admins and asked to follow these guidelines.

Privacy and Release of Information

CDPC-CEDC will not release your information to any third-party agencies.

Thank you and welcome to the CDPC
