Community Support Services


Case Management

Case management services provide intensive long-term support for individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. They may have a concurrent disorder (mental health diagnosis and problematic substance use), or be in conflict with the criminal justice system.

Community support workers and clients work together to develop goals and plan for an eventual transition out of services.


Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS)

CMHA Ottawa is the central access point for intensive case management (ICM) services in the Ottawa area.

CMHA Ottawa completes intake and assessment responsibilities and coordinates all Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) for the Champlain region. Intensive case management services are provided by a consortium of local agencies that strive to provide language-, culture- and program-specific access to ICM for qualifying individuals, aged 16-64, living with a severe and persistent mental illness. MHCSS promotes continuity of services, increases autonomy, and enriches the quality of life for the people who receive those services.

Approximately 1,300 clients receive case management services through a collaboration between CMHA Ottawa, Upstream, Ottawa Salus Corporation, Montfort Renaissance, Sandy Hill Community Health Centre and Somerset West Community Health Centre.
