Community Support Program (CSP):

The service utilizes a team approach to provide intensive, rehabilitative community support, crisis intervention, group and individual psychoeducation, and skill-building for activities of daily living.

CSP includes a comprehensive array of rehabilitation services, most of which are provided in non-office settings by a mobile team. Services are focused on skill-building to maximize independence. Community-based treatment enables the team to become intimately familiar with the participant’s surroundings, strengths, and challenges, and to assist the participant in learning skills applicable to his/her living environment. The team services and interventions are highly individualized and tailored to meet each needs and preference.
