Comprehensive Community Support Services (CCSS)

Sometimes clients face challenges that aren’t exactly clinical. They often need help acquiring certain life skills or accessing community resources. CCSS steps in to fill this gap. A Community Support Worker (CSW) supports individuals and families with the services and resources to help promote recovery, rehabilitation, and resiliency. A CSW connects clients to various resources in the community to help them access benefits and learn new skills. A team approach allows for wrap around services to help clients with many aspects of their lives, not just their mental illness.

​

A CSW addresses goals in the following functional domains:

• Independent Living

• Learning

• Working

• Socializing

• Recreation

​

Interacting face-to-face and on behalf of the client in community locations, a CSW worker utilizes a variety of interventions to addresses any barriers that impede the client’s development toward independent functioning in the community.
