COVID-19 Community Response
As COVID-19 grips our nation, many of our community members find themselves with thoughts of fear, anxiety, and hopelessness. The pandemic has been rapidly changing the ways we support and build community. Yet with crisis comes opportunity to connect, continue building relationships with each other, and foster a sense of group prosperity in the face of uncertainty. The Consortium invites you to tap into the values you hold dear and channel them into supporting one of the local communities we support.

Supported Communities
Individuals are supported utilizing trauma sensitive practices following Positive Behavioral Supports universal practices. The division is committed to continuous enhancement through innovative flexible supports and progressive practices.
Centered around peer-to-peer support, the focus is on providing a safe space in which each person can find the balance and support needed to turn what is so often referred to as a ‘crisis’ into a learning and growth opportunity.
We offer solace to those living in fear through trauma-informed supports. We understand all persons and families seeking assistance to be the experts in their lives and in their healing.
Self-advocacy teaches group members how to find their voice and use it responsibly.
