Developmental Disabilities

Support Coordination

Individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities have more success when they have some choice and control over their own care. Southside Behavioral Health support coordinators facilitate this by providing individuals with various opportunities for treatment and community engagement. They are always on the lookout for new opportunities and ways to better integrate individuals with their communities. This may include building community connections through social participation and meaningful employment that allows individuals to live their own lives as safely and independently as possible.
