Procedure for Referring PALS and their families for Case Management Services:

  • Each new PALS/family who registers with the chapter will be assigned a Case Manager so that supportive rapport may be established even before specific case management services are needed.  Each person will also be requested to sign a consent form to be kept on file at the ALSA-GLAC office. 
  • The Case Manager will conduct a needs assessment with the PALS/family to determine how the Chapter can assist them, as well as collaborate with other agencies that may be able to provide assistance.
  • Upon completing the needs assessment, the Case Manager together with the PALS/family will create a case management plan, outlining the issues that need to be addressed.
  • The Case Manager and the PALS/family will work together to solve the problems outlined in the case management plan.

 If you have not been assigned a Case Manager, please call 818-540-4252.

** Please remember: the PALS/family must have a signed consent form on file in the ALSA- GLAC office in order to take full advantage of  case management services
