Community treatment & support helps promote prosocial behavior, assists in skill building, and promotes stability and community tenure. These supports can act in conjunction and as a wrap around with our mental health and addiction treatment services or as a standalone support. Here is a list of our Community Supports offerings.
- Adult Therapeutic Behavioral Support and Community Psychiatric Supportive Treatment (TBS and CPST): TBS/CPST Workers strive to address barriers and promote the recovery of the consumers that they serve. Activities include education, monitoring, coordinating, intervening, linking and supporting those consumers with severe and persistent mental illness.
- John Murray Clubhouse – A community-based service dedicated to supporting and empowering people living with mental illness, known as Clubhouse members. Based on the Clubhouse Model of psychosocial rehabilitation, each Clubhouse offers a collaborative, restorative environment where Clubhouse members can recover by gaining access to opportunities for employment, socialization, education, skill development, housing and improved wellness. Organized around the belief that every individual has something valuable to contribute to society, Clubhouses effectively help people build self- confidence and end the social and economic isolation so often associated with mental illness.
