Description:
Our Community Support Program (CSP) provides comprehensive mental health, substance abuse, and case management services to adults diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness. Because this diagnosis affects all aspects of an individual’s life, effective treatment must address not only the management and reduction of symptoms, but also the individual’s full range of unique personal, social, and economic needs. Our services are primarily provided in a community, non-office setting; with the goal of assisting each client in gaining and maintaining increased independence. Our philosophy and treatments lead to a reduced need for repeated hospitalization and periods of institutionalized care.
CSP also provides participants:
Access to a Peer Support Specialist who is specially trained, recovering from mental illness and can provide effective self-help strategies that offer an expertise that professional training cannot replace
Supported Employment* providing individuals educational, volunteer, and professional opportunities that are proven to eliminate many barriers associated with mental illness.
Comprehensive assessment, recovery planning, and financial management services
Medical prescription and medication monitoring
Skills to solve or cope with social isolation, housing issues, recurring crises, personal care practices, and relationship troubles
Individuals are provided with a team consisting of a case manager, psychiatrist, nurse, mental health technician, and peer support specialist
