Community Support Program

Very few families in our community remain untouched by mental illness.  To assist these people, Highline Corporation, in partnership with Iron County Human Services, provides a Community Support Program.  Community Support offers supportive, rehabilitative services in a community-based, recovery-oriented program.  Our program is based upon the principles of Assertive Community Treatment and is certified by the Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services. 

Highline and Iron County Human Services use a team approach to provide services.  Members of this team consist of a psychiatrist, a clinical coordinator, community support specialists, and a nurse.  This team provides:
•  Assessment and treatment planning
•  Education about symptom management, medications, and mental illness
•  Employment assistance
•  Assistance with daily living skills
•  Social and recreational activities
•  Crisis intervention
•  Case management and advocacy
•  Psychiatric/Counseling services
•  Referral for other services

The community support program operates with the belief that people with mental illness can get better---that individual needs, preferences, and choice are paramount in the treatment process.
