En 1994, Pillars Community Health lanz\u00f3 un programa para brindar apoyo adicional a ni\u00f1os y adolescentes viviendo con una enfermedad mental. Este programa, conocido inicialmente como Respite (Relevo) y hoy d\u00eda como Apoyo Comunitario-Individual (CS-I, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), est\u00e1 dise\u00f1ado para ayudar a clientes j\u00f3venes a practicar sus habilidades y trabajar hacia el cumplimiento de sus objetivos de terapia, permaneciendo, al mismo tiempo, en la comunidad. Este programa est\u00e1 impulsado por Proveedores de Apoyo Individual (ISPs, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s) quienes llevan a los ni\u00f1os y adolescentes a lugares y actividades en la comunidad, y encuentran maneras de responder a problemas que han surgido en la terapia.<\/p>\n
Pillars Community Health lanz\u00f3 el programa CS-I para adultos en el 2016. Los servicios est\u00e1n disponibles en ingl\u00e9s y en espa\u00f1ol. La duraci\u00f3n del programa y el n\u00famero de horas por semana se basa en las necesidades cl\u00ednicas.<\/p>\n
Whether it’s learning how to manage emotions in public spaces, practicing social skills, or building independence through real-life experiences, our program brings community support for mental health to where it’s often needed most: out in the world.<\/p>\n

In the child and adolescent CS-I program, ISPs work one-on-one with children and adolescents to help them make progress toward their therapeutic goals. This might include improving social or interpersonal skills; improving anger management skills; improving behavior; learning to use community resources; and\/or building self-esteem, among other things. ISPs are typically matched up with clients based on shared interests, experience level, availability, and location.<\/p>\n
CS-I is a community-based service, so the ISPs take their clients on outings in real-life settings (for instance going to the YMCA, the park district, the zoo, a local park, the library, the mall) where they can work on their goals in the moment. The ISP acts as a role model for appropriate behavior and provides an environment where the client can feel comfortable learning and interacting while in the community.<\/p>\n
Each ISP is assigned to a client based on shared interests, location, and experience, and most spend about 6-10 hours with the child each week (the schedule is flexible based on the availability of both the ISP and the family). The therapist and ISP work together as a team to help the child reach their goals. Parents and other family members are strongly encouraged to get involved with treatment. For children and adolescents, parents should be present or at least aware of when sessions will begin and end, and should cooperate and communicate with the ISP to create a strong partnership. Any child or adolescent who is currently receiving therapy with Pillars Community Health and is Medicaid or FSP (Programa de Apoyo Familiar<\/a><\/strong>) (o financiado por otra fuente que apoye CS-I) califica para este programa.<\/p>\n Cualquier adulto que est\u00e9 financiado por Medicaid (o financiado por otra fuente que apoya el programa CS-I) califica para el programa CS-I.<\/p>\n\t\n\t\t\tLlama al\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t708-PILLARS\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t(708-745-5277)

The adult CS-I program assists clients in achieving rehabilitative, resiliency, and recovery goals. An adult CS-I client may receive assistance with self-management (such as organization skills); skill building (such as daily living tasks); identification of community supports; and the use of community resources (like public transportation, the YMCA, or the library). Adult CS-I sessions are typically 2-4 hours and can be held in community-based settings or in the client’s home.<\/p>\n
