Community Support
Programs for Persons with Severe and Persistent Mental Illnesses in Wisconsin
Introduction
The Bureau of Prevention, Treatment and Recovery, Division
of Disability and Elder Services, programmatically and fiscally supports the development of Community Support Programs
(CSPs) for persons with severe and persistent mental illnesses.
A Community Support
Program or CSP is a coordinated care and treatment program which provides a range of
treatment, rehabilitation, and support services through an identified treatment program
and staff to ensure ongoing therapeutic involvement, individualized treatment,
rehabilitation, and support services in the community for persons with severe and
persistent mental illness.
This summary was prepared as part of the state oversight activities as required in
ss.
51.421.
It is based on information received by The Bureau of Prevention, Treatment and
Recovery, from the 1995 Annual Community Support Program Monitoring Reports prepared by local CSP
Programs in 1996.
Survey data from the 1994 survey is referenced in several instances when
the annual data between 1994 and 1995 reflects a significant change. Data in this
summary are reflective of 92 Community Support Programs in 72 counties.
There was a
100% response rate from the certified CSPs to the 1995 CSP Monitoring Report.
The information gathered by the monitoring reports represents an approximation of the
treatment and community support experiences of the Wisconsin CSPs.
This summary
should not be read as a presentation of absolute numbers since it uses point-in-time
data.
This summary does indicate the treatment, services, and client demographic
trends within these programs, and contains the most accurate information currently
available. Problems that programs have identified as being the most challenging are
also part of this summary.
Information is presented at the end of the summary report regarding the cooperative
efforts of CSPs and Community Options Programs (COPs) to serve persons with mental
illnesses using both COP and CSP sources of funding.
