Individualized Service Plan

Individual Support is a one-on-one service provided directly to the individual.

This service is guided by an individual¡¯s unique Service Plan and must

reflect the strengths, needs and preferences of the person

receiving services.

Our Goal

A Helping Hand Along the Path Towards Independence

The goal of Individual Support Services is to provide

coaching to an individual with severe and persistent mental illness in the

daily life skills needed to live independently in his/her own home and

community. The individualized Service Plan includes a step-down plan

that identifies a person¡¯s natural support system (family, friends,

community resources, etc.). As a person transitions to these natural

supports or develops enough skill to live and function

independently, Individual Support for the person will be gradually phased

out until the service is no longer needed.
