About Case Management
Case Management is a process in which participant-centered services are provided in a coordinated and comprehensive manner, helping participants gain access to the broadest possible range of services. Everywoman provides employment-related services, assists participants in identifying issues that could be barriers to employment, and advocates for participants through the entire process to self-sufficiency. Everywoman's network of linkages with other community resources throughout WNY helps facilitate this process.		 Business Woman
