About Evan Wanous

Ohio-Licensed Social Worker with 6 years of experience in the field. My background is primarily in mental health and case management. I have worked in a skilled nursing facility setting for clients with significant functional limitations and mental health conditions including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, PTSD and Alzheimer's disease. I’ve also worked as a clinician, conducting individual therapy sessions for children with behavioral, academic and other mental health challenges in several elementary schools in Columbus, Ohio. I am currently in the role of programs care coordinator for a regional Area Agency on Aging, where I help clients continue to live in their own home (as opposed to a nursing facility) through coordinating and overseeing various services including personal home care, skilled nursing, minor home modifications and more.
