Our linkages program engages multidisciplinary teams and involves both individuals and their communities. Leveraging Comprehensive Community Support Services (CCSS), we aim to empower, facilitate recovery, and enhance the overall well-being and integration of those we serve, ultimately fostering independence and reducing stigma associated with mental health and substance use issues. CCSS refers to a multifaceted and person-centered array of integrated services within the realm of mental health and substance use care, intended to assist individuals facing these challenges within their local communities. CCSS encompasses case management to coordinate various resources, crisis intervention for immediate support during critical situations, skill-building, therapy, medication management, peer support, housing assistance, access to social services, education, and advocacy.
