How do we promote recovery? Through CSP!
What is CSP?
The Community Support Program (CSP) of PA is a coalition of mental health consumers, family members, and professionals working to help adults with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders live successfully in the community. The statewide coalitions links CSP nationally with regional and local CSPs throughout the state.
They are consumer-centered and empowered.
Services are individualized to meet the needs of the person.
Services incorporate self-help and other approaches that allow individuals to retain the greatest possible control over their own lives.
Why is CSP Important?
IT’S ALL ABOUT RECOVERY!
The recovery model incorporates the following components of a Community Support Program (CSP). These components are essential resources in recovery:
Treatment and support
Friends and family
Peer support
Meaningful work
Income information support
Healthcare
Education
Community Mobility
Community groups/organizations
Protection/advocacy
Psychiatric rehabilitation
Leisure and recreation
Housing
