CSS programs work to connect individuals with serious mental illness to the appropriate mental health support programs. PEI programs work with communities to mitigate the risk of development of mental health conditions by strengthening protective factors. Outreach and Early Recognition of Mental Illness programs work to educate the community about risk factors and supportive services, and work to increase access to mental health services for those in need through connection and provision of services.
