Addressing the needs of Portage County residents who struggle with chronic or persistent mental illness

CCS – (Comprehensive Community Services)
These services support consumer driven mental health recovery for Portage County residents. Consumers of these services are fairly independent but require more intensive care then outpatient therapy. We work to develop consumer-driven teams within the community that encourage and support the recovery process. Services are identified to overcome barriers to the consumer’s independence.

Services in this program may include:

* Supported Employment
* Supported Housing
* Medication Education and Management
* Counseling
* Practical Independent Skill Training and Rehabilitation
* Interpersonal Skill Development and Rehabilitation

CSP – (Community Support Program)
This program helps to keep county residents in their homes and in the community, even when experiencing severe symptoms of their mental illness. The focus of these services is to help consumers become more independent in managing the effects of their illness and to become empowered in leading their own recovery. Consumers of these services tend to be overwhelmed by the symptoms of their mental illness and unable to function independently in the community.

Services in this program may include:

* Psychiatric care
* Intensive Medication Management
* Rehabilitation Services
* Support with Daily living activities
* Case Management Services
