The Marinette County Community Support Program (CSP) provides comprehensive mental health and case management services to adults diagnosed with a 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 almost exclusively in the community, with the goal of assisting each client in gaining and/or maintaining increased independence in the community. This philosophy and mode of treatment has been very successful in helping clients achieving a better quality of life, and reducing the need for repeated acute treatment or prolonged periods of institutionalized care.
Each individual entering the Community Support Program is assigned a case manager who develops a treatment plan with the individual, provides support and outreach, and assists in coordinating other services. Services provided within the CSP include:- Psychiatric Services
- Medication prescription, administration, monitoring, and education
