- Community Support Services
A certain percentage of any community’s population has more long lasting, but very manageable thought disorders such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective (combination thought and mood disorder) and bipolar disorders. Untreated, these conditions can lead to problems in concentration, mood and cause irrational thinking and behavior, but such conditions can be immediately assessed and effectively treated at our Center. Once stabilized with such services such as inpatient hospitalization, medication and counseling, our social workers continue to help such clients and their families to return to a healthy lifestyle in their community. Our social workers often do outreach, making home visits to assist clients who may have difficulty coming into the Center. Social Workers are the brokers who link consumers to other services.
