    Pine Tree Society, a statewide organization transforming the lives of Maine people with disabilities since 1936, has expanded its Children’s Case Management Services to its Bath office.

    “This expansion of our children’s case management program means we are now accepting new referrals with no wait list in Bath,” said Pine Tree Society’s president and CEO Noel Sullivan. “We currently offer case management in Scarborough and Auburn and expanding this service to our headquarters office in Bath allows families in the surrounding area to receive much needed assistance without having to wait for an opening.”

    Pine Tree Society’s case managers will provide services for families who live within an hour radius of Bath.

    “We are flexible about where we meet and accommodate what works best for families based on what the goals are,” said Julie Brennan, director of Pine Tree Society’s case management services. “As case managers, we want to get to know a child in different environments and we do whatever is easiest for the parent. The important thing is that the family gets what they need for help. We often meet at a child’s school or home or at our office.”

    To be eligible for Pine Tree Society’s case management services, the child must be 0-21 years of age and be enrolled in Katie Beckett/MaineCare. Private pay is also an option. Instructions for Katie Beckett enrollment and a full list of diagnosis are available on the Pine Tree Society website at this link: https://www.pinetreesociety.org/children-and-families/case-management-children/
