Community Support Services
"CSS" is a longstanding Lifeways program of wraparound services for persistently and severely mentally ill people, and the Malheur County Lifeways program is renowned in the State as being a model for other counties. Wraparound services are anything that a specific client needs and may include financial management, medication management, supported employment, or daily living tasks such as shopping, cooking and cleaning, family education, and housing.
You can contact the CSS Program Manager by e-mail or by calling your regional office. This is also a good starting place if:
- you are a family member who needs support/education for your loved one's mental illness
- you want to attend a monthly provider meeting, to learn more about caring for mentally ill people, or
- if you are interested in becoming a personal care provider or adult foster home provider
Silver Sage Consumer Group in Malheur County offers peer support, reduces isolation with opportunities to socialize and develops community support and integration. They operate a consumer center at First United Methodist Church, 312 NW 2nd Street in Ontario, which is open from 9:00-Noon. You can e-mail for more information or call (541) 889-9167.
We encourage you to visit our online Resource center for specific information about mental illness.
