The purpose of Infant Case Management (ICM) is to improve the welfare of infants by providing their parents with information and assistance to access medical, social, educational, and environmental services. Families that meet criteria for ICM will be offered services focused on referrals and linkage to community resources.
For the purposes of ICM, a parent is any person who resides with an infant, provides the infant’s day-to-day care, and is one or more of the following:
• The infant’s natural or adoptive parent
• A person other than a foster parent who has been granted legal custody of the infant
• A person who is legally obligated to support the infant
