Community Mental Health Support

Mental health support services are training and support to enable individuals with

significant psychiatric functional limitations to achieve and maintain community stability

and independence in the most appropriate, least restrictive environment. The

recommended age to receive the service will increase from 16 to 18 years of age as this

service is focused on assisting clients to live independently. Persons under 18 may still be

eligible for Mental Health Support Serviced if medical necessity criteria are met. This

service is not a substitution for mental health counseling or psychotherapy.
