The Community Support Program (CSP) is designed to provide effective and easily accessible treatment, rehabilitation and support services to adults with severe and persistent mental illness. CSP services are provided in the community where the persons live and work, as opposed to in clinics or institutions. It is felt that by helping persons with long-term mental illness to better manage their symptoms, few institutional placements will be needed.
