Community Psychiatric Support and Treatment (CPST) – clinical services designed to provide mobile treatment and rehabilitation services to individuals who have difficulty engaging in site-based treatment programs. This service assists individuals with independent living skills to promote recovery and growth specific to managing their own home. CPST can provide therapy, medication management and RN support.
Empowerment Services/ Peer Support – peer-delivered services that are designed to promote skills to cope with and manage behavioral health symptoms. Activities provided emphasize peers’ relationships to support recovery, enhance quality of life and effectively utilize community resources.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PSR) – designed to assist individuals to improve their ability to live independently in the areas of living, working, learning and socializing. Rehabilitation counseling, skill-building and psychoeducational interventions are used to meet the goals the individual chooses to work towards.
Family Support and Training (FST) – offers instruction, emotional support and skill-building support to facilitate engagement and active participation of the family in the enrolled individual’s recovery process. CORE staff partner with the individual and the family to create a person-centered/person-directed, recovery-oriented, trauma-informed approach. “Family” is chosen by the enrolled individual and can be provided in group and individual sessions.
CORE has a “No Wrong Door” Referral Pathway – which means if you are interested in finding out more and exploring if you are eligible and enrolling in the service, you can reach out to us yourself!
