What are the responsibilities and job description for the Community Support Specialist position at CTL?
Community Support Program (CSP)
Definition: Community Support Program (CSP) consist of mental health and substance abuse rehabilitation services and supports necessary to assist the individual in achieving and maintaining the highest degree of independent functioning. The service utilizes a team approach to provide intensive, rehabilitative community support, crisis intervention, group and individual psycho-education, and skill building for activities of daily living.
CSP includes a comprehensive array of rehabilitation services most of which are provided in non-office settings by a mobile team. Services are focused on skill building with a goal of maximizing independence.
Community-based treatment enables the team to become intimately familiar with the participant’s surroundings, strengths and challenges, and to assist the participant in learning skills applicable to his/her living environment. The team services and interventions are highly individualized and tailored to the needs and preferences of the individual.
Requirements:
A CSP provider must meet the State of Connecticut certification standards to provide CSP services as defined by the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), which will be confirmed by a site visit, and have been providing CSP services for a period of one year or greater. A WISE RA provider agency may apply to provide CSP services after they have been providing RA services for a year, as long as they have passed their most recent quarterly audit.
