Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 well, at the community mental health agency I work at, our official Case Managers do a real variety of jobs, such as helping our clients with transportation, coordinating appointments with doctors and school people, facilitating communication between clients and whoever else is working with the client, and providing a connection with our agency should the client be seeing one of our agency psychiatrists for medications...basically doing a whole lot of legwork for the families we work with...a part of it all is attending to emotional needs, so lots of unofficial counseling/therapy. The term case manager also applies within the job description of other positions here, such as mine, which is In-Home Clinician: in addition to my formal play and family therapy with clients, I also do case management as needed; some families require this more than others. I have found that with the Latino clients I have, the case mgmt. " part " of my job is often a bigger slice of the pie, as it includes translation services within the community. My understanding of the other two terms, outreach worker and promotora, are that perhaps they are more of a focused job, such as specific health education (?) hope this helps Jane -----Original Message----- From: S.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 Another way to differentiate between promotora and outreach workder is the following: Promotores are chosen because they are members of the target community. Typically, they get on the job training to handle a particular task. While many do outreach and education others work inside a clinic or institution and provide a variety of services such as translation. Many promotores, even when paid, are not full time staff. Some receive salaries others receive stipends and some get no compensation at all. By contrast outreach workers tend to be full-time paid staff (even if they only work for part of the year). They may or may not be members of the target community. -----Original Message-----From: S.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hi , I am new to this forum and actually haven't tried LDN or participated in the discussion yet. My primary question is this; I am interested in treating my dog, who has an advanced osteosarcoma on his leg, with LDN. Obviously, bone cancer is intensely painful and I am unwilling to get him off his pain meds (tramadol being the primary pain med at this point). I should also mention that my intention is to treat what appears to be a lung met. with LDN...any suggestions? Thanks! Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
