 Our
residential programs help move individuals and families toward greater
levels of independence.
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES:
Supported
Community Options Program
- encourages independence
- supports an increase in
living skills
- promotes a satisfying
quality of life for program participants.
These supports reduce the frequency and duration of
hospitalizations caused by a return of symptoms.
The typical resident of the supported housing program
needs
- to be prompted to take
medications
- instruction in money
management skills
- skills training for
daily living activities like housekeeping and shopping
- individual and group
therapy
- assistance and advocacy
with community service providers
- mental health care
coordination.
Residents live independently, but program staff are
nearby. Most important for residents is the reliable and consistent
support and encouragement they receive from staff.
Supported Community Options are located at:
- The Hawthorn Program: A 35-unit subsidized
housing facility
- Riverbend Supportive
Community:
40 to 60 units located in community apartments
- Family Housing Program: Ten long-term units
located at this shelter that also serves families
- Brethren Housing: Eight units located at
this program that also serves families.

The Hawthorn Program is located at the Hawthorn
Apartments, a thirty-five unit subsidized housing facility in
residential south Eugene. Program residents participate with
professional staff in developing treatment plans to accomplish specific
goals. A program office is located on site, where staff provide
assessment advocacy and intervention, monitor medication, and offer
individual and group therapy activities and skill development programs.
The program gives men and women with severe and persistent
mental illness (SPMI) the opportunity to live as independently as they
can. Thirty-five specially designed apartments are clustered in groups
of four around central common rooms. The program also offers a kitchen
and meeting area. A case manager is available there from morning
through evening. Staff help residents manage their symptoms, either by
listening, offering a reality check, or encouraging residents to attend
a group session. A staff person also is on call through the night.
For most people with a mental illness, the need for
support and the ability to be independent vary over time, just as they
vary from person to person. The Hawthorn Program supports each
individual as needed.
