A Community Support Program or CSP is a coordinated care and treatment program which provides a range of treatment, rehabilitation, and support services through an identified treatment program and staff to ensure ongoing therapeutic involvement, individualized treatment, rehabilitation, and support services in the community for persons with severe and persistent mental illness.
In Racine County, CSP programs support people with mental illness in their homes. Staff spend a great deal of time with people, helping them with daily activities, teaching skills, and assisting them with decisions. There are also opportunities for recreation and socializing. Staff make sure people take their prescribed medications, pay their bills, and be as independent as possible.
