RP-6400.8000-500Mental Health Related Community Support Services (CSS) Definition
Programs that provide support for adults with a severe and persistent mental illness who remain living and working in the community. CSS is provided in the individual's homes, community settings, and occasionally in the agency setting by staff who have experience working with adults with intense and persistent mental health issues. Services focus on helping the person reduce or manage their symptoms. Objectives of the program may include: monitoring mental health symptoms, developing a supportive relationship, crisis intervention when required, medication monitoring and management, communication with other relevant service providers, transportation arrangements, and the development and coordination of a natural support system. The number of contacts per month (which may be made in person or by telephone) are dependent on the current severity of the person's symptoms.

Members establish their own schedules within an ordered day, choose the activities they will regularly participate in, and are actively engaged and supported by staff and other members in the activities and tasks they have chosen. Services provided through the group experience of the ordered day include a wide array of skill development activities and training designed to assist the member to gain control of debilitative aspects of their illness, acquire personal and social competencies, and establish and navigate environmental support systems.
