How does Revive & Thrive provide a personalized experience for individuals seeking emotional well-being support?

When individuals engage with Revive & Thrive, they are connected to a master’s level Care Coordinator who remains dedicated to them throughout the life of their case. From the initial conversation through the close of their case, the Care Coordinator always guides and supports the participant through the care process. Our Care Coordinators take time to engage with the participants to understand their needs and point them to the appropriate resources and support. No matter the recommended care pathway, our goal is to establish a therapeutic alliance with the participant and remove barriers by facilitating appointments and following up to ensure satisfaction and progress.

What modalities are available for participants to engage with Revive & Thrive's master's level Care Coordinators?

How does Revive & Thrive conduct assessments and develop care plans for participants?

To evaluate all areas of well-being and the impact on functioning, the Care Coordinator conducts a conversational assessment with the participant. This conversation aims to uncover how the presenting challenge impacts each area of the participant’s well-being (social, career, physical, financial and emotional). Throughout the conversational assessment, the Care Coordinator will utilize validated screening tools to determine where the participant is on the mental health continuum and to guide them along the best care pathways. Upon completion of the assessment, the Care Coordinator utilizes the evaluation content to develop recommendations for effective interventions to address each of the participant’s identified problems.
