@giancarlochavez
Compassionate behavioral health professional with 12+ years in case management and mentorship.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated mental health and social services professional with over 12 years of experience supporting youth, families, and underserved communities. I specialize in case management, crisis intervention, care coordination, and culturally responsive practices, and I am fluent in English and Spanish.
In my recent role as Lead Care Manager, I managed a high-volume caseload of high-risk clients, conducted comprehensive assessments, and developed individualized care plans while connecting clients to housing, healthcare, and financial resources.
Previously, as a Specialized Case Manager I supported unaccompanied minors by coordinating education, healthcare, legal, and mental health services, advocated for family reunification, and collaborated with community partners and government agencies to improve client outcomes.
I hold a B.A. in Psychology, am pursuing an M.S. in Marriage & Family Therapy, and bring a history of leadership in community and youth programs, including coaching and mentoring roles that strengthen family systems and promote resilience.
