Community Support Program
The Community Support Program (CSP) of Pennsylvania is a coalition of mental health consumers, family members and professionals working to help adults with serious mental illnesses and co-occurring disorders live successfully in the community. The statewide coalition links CSP nationally with regional and local CSP’s throughout the State.
CSP Principles
Consumer-Centered/Consumer-Empowered: Services are based upon the needs of the individual and incorporate self-help and other approaches that allow consumers to retain the greatest possible control over their own lives.
Culturally Competent: Services are sensitive and responsive to racial, ethnic, religious and gender differences of consumers and families.
Designed to Meet Special Needs: Services are designed to meet the needs of persons with mental illness who are also affected by such factors as old age, substance abuse, physical illness or disability, mental retardation, homelessness or involvement with the criminal justice system.
Community-Based/Natural Supports: Services are provided in the least coercive manner and in the most natural settings possible. Consumers are encouraged to use natural supports in the community and to integrate into the living, working, learning and leisure activities of the community.
Flexible: Services are designed to allow people to move in and out of the system and within the system as needed.
Coordinated: Treatment services and supports are coordinated on both the local system level and on an individual consumer basis in order to reduce fragmentation and to improve efficiency and effectiveness with service delivery. Coordination includes linkages with consumers, families, advocates and professionals at every level of the system of care.
Accountable: Service providers are accountable to the users of services and include consumers and families in planning, development, implementation, and monitoring and evaluating services.
Strengths-based: Services build upon the assets and strengths of consumers and help people maintain a sense of identity, self-esteem and dignity.
