Resource Highlight

In partnership with Pierce County Behavioral Health, Seneca's innovative Therapeutic Case Management (TCM) program provides behavioral support and case management services to non-Medicaid eligible youth. TCM participants include youth who do not qualify for Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe), youth who may be stepping down from WISe, or youth who would benefit from additional behavioral support and case management services. To ensure individuals are receiving appropriate services, referred youth are provided a screener prior to enrollment. This allows the Seneca team to review if TCM is an appropriate level of care or to make referrals for the right level of service.

To submit a referral or receive more information for Seneca's Therapeutic Case Management program:TCMReferrals@senecacenter.org or 253-356-8459
