Community Support Program (CSP)
The Crawford County Health & Human Services Community Support Program (CSP) provides comprehensive mental health and case management services to adults diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness. Because such a diagnosis affects all aspects of an individual's life, effective treatment must address not only the management and reduction of symptoms, but also the individual's full range of unique personal, social, and economic needs. Services to CSP clients are provided in the community, with the goal of assisting each client in gaining and/or maintaining increased independence. This philosophy and mode of treatment have been very successful in helping clients in achieving a better quality of life and reducing the need for repeated acute treatment or prolonged periods of institutionalized care.
Everyone entering the Community Support Program is assigned a case manager who develops a person-centered treatment plan with the individual and other team members, provides support and outreach, and assists in coordinating other services.
Services provided within the CSP include but are not limited to:
- Psychiatric Services
- Medication prescription, administration, monitoring, and education
- Case Management

- Individual/family counseling and therapy services
- Assistance in locating, obtaining, and maintaining stable housing
