We Promote Resiliency, Rehabilitation, and recovery
Sometimes we face challenges that aren’t exactly clinical. This could
be learning new skills or accessing community resources. Comprehensive
Community Support Services (CCSS) is a partnership with the client and
family to support the client in reaching their goals and address barriers
they are facing. CCSS focuses on five life domains: independent living,
learning, working, socializing and recreation.
What Are the Benefits of CCSS?
CCSS is a program that:
Promotes resiliency through doing things
with you, rather than
for you.
Helps you access resources in your community such as food stamps, unemployment,
and so on.
Coaches you on how to get through challenging situations.
Teaches you new skills to support your recovery.
Here are some ways that CCSS has helped:
A client who arrived from Colorado with no belongings was wearing clothes
that were soaking wet. His CSW was able to help him find a set of clean,
dry, clothes and get into a program to support him with his many needs.
A client who was relocating from another state was able to obtain Medicaid,
food stamps, and housing resources through CCSS and has established a
fulfilling life in her new city.
Through CCSS, a client was able to learn to cope with the stress of housing
inspections and family issues with the help of her CSW.
A client had extreme anxiety due to a traumatic accident involving a family
member. Thanks to the positive relationship between the client and her
CSW, the client finally told her CSW about the trauma. The CSW was able
to connect her to a therapist and since then, the client’s ability
to cope with her anxiety has greatly improved.
