Comprehensive community Services

We support both youth and adults within our Comprehensive Community Services (CCS). These programs provide person-centered and recovery-focused supports to individuals with various diagnoses and diverse mental health needs. We work toward assisting clients with their mental health needs and tasks that may otherwise limit their independence. We collaborate with each client’s Service Facilitator and/or Mental Health Professional to coordinate services and ensure recovery team is updated on treatment progress.

Providing supports in place helps to reduce out-of-home placements, police and crisis calls, and further trauma to the people we support, their families, and the community. CCS is an ever-changing service, which requires continued evaluation of clients’ goals and objectives. The goal is for members to meet their goals and work toward independence. Services take place in individuals’ homes, communities, and occasional program sites.

- Services Offered -

• Wellness Management - Wellness Management and recovery services, which are generally provided as mental health services, include empowering members to manage their mental health and/or substance abuse concerns, helping them develop their own goals, and teaching them the knowledge and skills necessary to help them make informed treatment decisions.  Services can be taught using motivational, educational, and cognitive-behavioral strategies.

• Medication Management - Medication Management works to increase the member's understanding of the benefits of each of their medications and the symptoms it is treating.  We monitor changes in the member's symptoms and tolerability of side effects.  Within Medication Management, we also do well checks to address any mental health concerns the member may be experiencing (This service is provided in adult programming only.)

Services can also include training in daily living skills related to personal care, household tasks, financial management, transportation, shopping, parenting, accessing, and connecting to community resources/services and other specific daily living needs identified in the member’s service plan.  There is a strong focus to build healthy relationships, work with behavioral and emotional controls in social settings and implement positive thinking.
