Community Support Programs

Two adults walking

Community Support Programs (CSP) offer care and treatment for adults with a serious mental illness. Participants receive a range of services in their homes and other locations in their community designed to reduce symptoms and lead to recovery.

Principles

CSP teams commit to the following principles to help participants live their best life.  

  • Coordinated care: Staff on a CSP team work together to meet the participant’s needs and goals.
  • Community services: More than half of the care and treatment happens where participants live and other locations in their community.
  • Individualized plans: Treatment plans vary based on the participant’s needs and goals.
  • Hope: Staff on a CSP team create a feeling that recovery is possible for all participants.
  • Recovery: Staff on a CSP team help participants focus on the recovery they want.  
  • Person centered: Participants work with a CSP team to guide the services they receive.
