Recovery-oriented services in a stable and supportive living environment for individuals with mental health challenges.
The mental health supported living program assists in providing recovery-oriented services in a stable and supportive living environment for individuals with mental health challenges. These settings enable individuals to develop and/or maintain their social and life skills to work towards the highest level of independence possible.
We offer a variety of housing supports, from fully supported licensed and assisted living environments to providing services to clients in supported independent living arrangements in their community. These services may be provided by contracted service agencies.
The mental health and substance use team works with individuals and their family to determine which level of housing is most appropriate for each individual.
