Coordinated Resource & Support Services (CRSS)
What does CRSS do?
CRSS is a program supported by both the Mental Health and Developmental Disability components of the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. The purpose is to provide crisis intervention and support for individuals with dual diagnosis (mental illness and developmental disability).
CRSS takes great pride in its dedication to serving individuals with dual diagnosis and the agencies that serve them. By continuing as a leader in Kansas, they are networking to effectively provide services to this population. CRSS works to stabilize individuals in crisis and prevent the need for hospitalization or institutionalization.
In assisting consumers and the agencies serving them, CRSS makes recommendations relative to environmental, behavioral, psychological, and/or systemic issues that may be contributing to the consumer's difficulties.
Recommendations by CRSS are as comprehensive as possible in identifying issues and recognizing options on an individual basis. To be successful, this process requires assessing the consumer's current supports, needed supports, communication skills, as well as their overall quality of life. The recommendations are then designed to integrate various community-based resources in order to support and serve the consumer.
Services of CRSS are provided for individuals of all ages. There is no fee. Individuals who are not currently served by an agency may also be referred if they are in crisis and demonstrate significant need related to behavioral or developmental needs.
