Do you or someone in your family need extra support to access resources or in daily living skills?

Are you, your child, or a loved one feeling overwhelmed by the process of accessing resources for education or employment? Perhaps it feels like you're drowning in endless forms and meetings alone, and wish you had someone experienced by your side to guide you? Or maybe you're looking for ways to make life more enjoyable through social connections and activities, but don't know where to start. 

​

Clients occasionally encounter challenges that extend beyond clinical issues, often requiring assistance in developing essential life skills or accessing community resources. Our Community Support Services (CCSS) bridge these gaps by providing dedicated Community Support Workers (CSWs) to provide compassionate, personalized support every step of the way. 

​

Our Community Support Workers are committed to helping individuals and families connect with the necessary services and resources to foster resilience and achieve their goals - be it independent living, pursuing education, employment, or finding fulfilment in social and recreational activities. ​We offer services both in our office and out in the community, meeting you wherever you need us most.

HOW CCSS CAN HELP

What are Comprehensive Community Support Services and How Does it Work? 

CCSS is a client-centered program designed to promote independence and strengthen connections with community resources, helping individuals succeed in education, employment, housing, and more.

 

Meetings with your Community Support Worker (CSW) will take place both at our office and in the community. The frequency and duration of these meetings will depend on your specific goals and needs.

 

For example, a meeting may involve CSW support during a 504 or Individualized Education Program (IEP) meeting at your child’s school, assistance with completing an application at the housing department, or help with resume creation and job searching at the library. Your CSW will maintain communication with you and your therapist to monitor progress and ensure a coordinated support team.

Courtney Chadwick, Community Support Worker, a white woman with long brown hair and green eyes, smiling at the camera and wearing a purple silk top and black cardigan.

My work in CCSS allows me to help individuals and families by helping them obtain stabilization in areas of need, such as housing, food insecurities and accessing other services. I enjoy working with schools to help identify behavioral management resources in the classroom to assist children in receiving the education they need. It is very rewarding to assist individuals in securing employment and helping prepare them to be successful with job seeking, application, obtainment and maintenance. I also enjoy helping people strengthen their social skills, conflict resolution, boundary setting and communication skills to strengthen the relationships in their lives. My goal is always to help people feel seen, heard, and valued.
