Community Support Team

Our mission is to nurture recovery and personal development in a compassionate and supportive atmosphere for people experiencing severe mental illness.

Our Community Support Team services promote independence, productivity and community integration for people with symptoms of severe mental illness. People are encouraged and supported to be active in the development of their own recovery goals. Services are flexible and are provided in homes, community settings and the Lake Road Health Center.

The following programs are available for adults enrolled with the Community Support Team Program.
