Comprehensive community services
Our comprehensive community services (CCS) programs provide person-centered and recovery-focused supports to both youth and adults with various diagnoses and diverse mental health needs.
We assist 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 provider to coordinate services and ensure the 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.
Fostering independence through comprehensive community services
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.
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 treats. 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.
Individual skills and development
Individual skills and development services include training in communication, interpersonal skills, problem solving, decision-making, self-regulation, conflict resolution and other specific needs identified in the member’s service plan. 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.
Group training
We offer a variety of groups to build skills and wellness strategies that may include budgeting and finance, health and nutrition, emotional regulation, music, artistic expression and Finding Your Sparks. Group offerings may vary by geographic location.
