Case Managers are responsible for assisting clients to solve complex issues with the aim of enhancing their clients' quality of life.
Care Coordinator
Care coordinators (Patient Care Coordinators) are trained health professionals who monitor and coordinate patients’ treatment plans, by way of educating clients and connecting patients to health care providers. They also evaluate their treatment progress. Examples of patients requiring the expertise of care co-ordinators include the elderly or disabled.
Case Worker or Case Manager
Case managers coordinate care for their clients as social workers by working with and linking clients to agencies and institutions, ensuring that their clients receive the best possible outcomes. Social work case management is a particularly challenging field.
Family Support Worker
A family support worker is assigned to clients who are deemed most at-risk through governmental or social service agencies. They assess the needs of family members of clients/patients and help resolve issues through the promotion of wellbeing, human rights, and social justice to those under their care.
Group Facilitator/ Coordinator
A group facilitator might run a range of support groups for people in need of help. They act as a friendly face for community members to talk to. This role can help groups facilitate members' requests, lend support through discussion, act as moderators and promote positive and wise mindsets to group participants.

Pastoral Care Counsellors integrate traditional religious training with modern psychological methods to address psychospiritual issues which are additional to the traditional counselling services spectrum. They have a distinctive form of counselling and psychotherapy which is affirmed by being representatives of the central images of life and faith.
