What
is Community Support?
Individuals who have special mental health needs frequently seek
services designed to help them adjust to community life. Trained
community support workers (CSW's) work with these individuals to
ensure that appropriate resources are available that promote an
individual's community adjustment.
The program includes:
- Teaching community living skills
- Advocating for consumers
- Providing encouragement and support
A critical feature to the program is that services are delivered
in various community locations. This approach reflects the individual
needs of the consumers being served, and is flexible to permit variation
in the amount and nature of services provided. By using a Continuous
Treatment team approach, each person is assured of quality treatment
care.
Comprehensive Program
Community Support services provides a comprehensive program to help
adults in our communities who have serious psychiatric disabilities
lead more rewarding and productive lives.
Treatment, vocational, and social needs are addressed by services
such as:
- Evaluation and collaborative treatment planning
- Case management tailored to the level of service and support
needed
- Crisis intervention to provide support and timely access to
treatment
- Coordinated psychiatric and medical treatment through the agency's
clinics and other providers in the community
- A vocationally oriented clubhouse in which adults actively participate
as members and colleagues in the rehabilitation process
- Supported employment programs for an introduction to work in
the community
