  • Must be able and willing to work flexible hours and adjust work schedule to meet patient and organization needs
  • Must maintain State of Kansas Case Manager Certification and appropriate CEU’s where applicable
  • Must be able to communicate effectively with referral sources, external care providers, and mental health center team members (i.e. case managers, therapists, physicians, attendant care workers)
  • Must have ability to work effectively with children, adolescents, and their families
  • Must have ability to work effectively with families who have severely emotionally disturbed children and give appropriate support
