The Community Support Teams for Adults/Community Supports for Adults supports individuals living with persistent mental illness to develop and maintain a safe, satisfying quality of life in the community. In many instances, mental illness has had a major impact on aspects of clients’ lives, such as housing, employment, social supports, finances and daily living skills. The Principles of Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery guide the teams’ work. These principles emphasize hope, recovery, empowerment, and supportive recovery.
