Crossroads Peer and Supported Employment
Crossroads Peer and Supported Employment is a mental health support service established for adults (18 years of age and older) diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness and who are enrolled with the DeKalb CSB.

Couple
Crossroads provides peer support and employment support services that are recovery focused. Consumers can use one or both of these services to develop their strengths and abilities to recover from the effects of mental illness. Crossroads is geared towards individuals who are serious about their recovery and need social support and a daily routine, assistance to build job readiness skills, assistance to upgrade education, assistance with referral to Vocational Rehabilitation services, and self-help skill reinforcement.

Peer Support
The Adult Peer Support services provide structured, scheduled activities that promote socialization, recovery, self-advocacy, development of natural supports, and maintenance of community living skills at a location in which consumers can meet and provide mutual support. Consumers actively participate in decision making and the operation of the programmatic supports. These services are often coupled with other services such as case management and supported employment.

Employment Support
The Employment Support services help people go to work in community-based jobs that are tailored to their choice and abilities. Employment is a major activity that adds meaning and quality to life and allows people to be more independent and self-reliant. The employment support needs of each person vary in intensity from off-site contact to side by side job coaching. Pre-vocational experiences are provided so people can prepare for and find work.
