Andover Community Support Service's first responsibility is to provide hope and support to individuals, children, and families in difficult moments. By utilizing a co-responder and an outreach model with public safety personnel, following a substance abuse/ or mental health crisis, our mission is to connect individuals and families to appropriate level of care.
By collaborating with governmental, community based, and health program partnerships we provide an appropriate bridge to mental health and substance abuse services to individuals and families in need. In addition, we provide short-term community-based counseling to address issues related to mental health, substance abuse and misuse, and family functioning.
Offering ongoing community education, awareness, and preventative opportunities remain at the center of Community Support Service's mission.
