ICDI Case Management
Establishing a foothold and providing support towards self-sufficiency
History &
Background
Newcomers arrive fleeing persecution, abuse, war, and poverty in their countries. They often arrive in the US disoriented and without a sense of belonging looking for new opportunities in hope for a better life.
Newcomers face many barriers such as language, culture shock, and family separation. They often struggle with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and loneliness.
This is where ICDI steps in to provide trauma-informed case management and accompaniment throughout their integration.

Program
ICDI’s case management program is a trauma-informed care model that recognizes the dignity of individuals and empowers them to live fulfilling lives as they integrate into their new homes.
We coordinate with diverse communities and community-based mentors to offer case management to asylum seekers and immigrants who would otherwise have been unable to access the variety of resources and services that are available to them.
