Tommy is a 12-year old student receiving Telecare counseling support through JFS. During one of the sessions, he informed the therapist that a source of anxiety was his grandmother's ongoing financial struggles. This led to case management's outreach to the grandmother (Lydia), during which she informed us that her financial difficulties were the results of an unexpected, substantial medical bill. Her modest fixed income was generally enough to offer stability, and she's fiercely independent. But, she had been struggling for months to "catch up," affecting Tommy's mood. Case managers were able to offer direct and indirect financial assistance leading to Lydia's reports of increased financial stability. And, Tommy's therapist noted the "lift" to his demeanor.
