Emergency Community Support
Emergency Community Support, an arm of the Emergency Support Program, is designed to assist individuals who need short term, but ongoing (up to 90 days) support. Through goal setting and individual support, each person served has access to resources that can improve their quality of life. The Emergency Community Support Care Coordinators work closely with the psychiatric unit at the local hospital to assist in discharge planning. Consumers meet with their Care Coordinator on an ongoing basis to work on completion of their goals and to complete referrals to ongoing resources including medication assistance, psychiatrist appointments, counseling appointments, applying for housing assistance, transportation, applying for medication assistance programs, applying for Medicaid and disability, and referrals to vocational rehabilitation.
Emergency Community Support works closely with the Mental Health Boards in Region II participating in the Mental Health Board Hearings and providing supervision of outpatient commitments. This supervision includes reporting progress to the boards on individual’s outpatient commitment plan.
