Community Integration Evaluation Program (CIEP)
CIEP provides in-depth evaluations and assessments of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness who have been institutionalized with significant barriers to community living. The program has a two-phase approach to community reintegration. During the first phase, staff engage individuals in social and recreational activities, both in the inpatient unit and out in the community. During the second phase, staff conduct comprehensive assessments of their basic life skills. The goal is to assess each individual’s strengths, abilities, needs, and preferences when looking at placing him or her in supported independent living in the community.
Key components:
- Individual person-centered planning
- Psychosocial assessments
- Housing resource coordination
- Treatment collaboration with area providers
- Intensive emotional & psychosocial support
- Inpatient & community-based case management services
