Case Management
Case Management Program Overview
In partnership with Eckerd Connects, Lutheran Services of Florida, and Medicaid, SailFuture provides dependency and targeted case management services to the highest-risk teens in foster care in Pinellas and Pasco counties.
Our Case Managers work hand in hand to help our high risk teens stabilize and navigate their way out of a complex foster care system and into a loving and permanent home.

Who We Serve
On average our teens have had 10 or more foster care placements, attended 5 or more schools, and are unlikely to reunify with their families.
They have been referred to SailFuture for specialty case management services because existing providers have been unable to meet their unique needs and manage their challenging behaviors.
Our teens’ complex trauma leads to challenging behaviors. Our team focuses on interpreting and decoding those behaviors to understand the underlying message.

Our Approach
We recognize that teenagers have different needs and behaviors than toddlers and infants. Traditional case management – home visits, judicial reviews, and referral – is not enough to meet their unique needs.
In addition to traditional responsibilities, our case managers act as the basis of a teen’s support system, providing wraparound services to ensure that they are not falling through the cracks of the foster care system.
1 : 10 caseloads allow our case managers to adopt a Whatever it Takes philosophy, providing everything from sailing based interventions to advanced mental health and education support.
Many youth under our case management supervision also receive other in-house SailFuture services, including:
- – Mental Health Counseling
- – Linkage to independent living
- – Linkage to Specialized Therapeutic Foster Care
- – Linkage to Residential Programs

Sailing Based Interventions
Sailing-based interventions are a critical therapeutic and functional element of our dependency case management model.
Every week our case managers take their teens and families sailing to build rapport and work through experience-based challenges to develop trust, camaraderie, and teamwork.
Case Managers use the sailing platform to help our teens build relationships with their mental health counselors and potential caregivers. For many of our teens, sailing becomes a safe and healthy hobby – one that provides them with an opportunity to grow and heal on their own terms.
