The Community Services Division (CSD) in Stamford is located at the Franklin S. DuBois Center (FSDC) and serves the greater Stamford/Norwalk area. FSDC is responsible for providing ongoing, individualized treatment to persons living in the community with severe behavioral health disorders who are publicly insured, uninsured and in some cases underinsured. All services offered at the F. S. DuBois Center are aligned with the Commissioner’s initiative to move our practice to one offering Community Support and Recovery Pathways. At the end of the day, people ought to have more advanced skills for self-management. Within many areas of service at FSDC, Peers have become integral components. Person-centered care is a given and evidence-based practices are growing.

The Welcoming and Immediate Service Center (WIS): The primary functions of WIS are:

Initiating person centered planning and eliciting background clinical and medical information

Referral to Supported Employment, Co-occurring services and Peer-led recovery classes when appropriate

Referral to more long-term on-going behavioral health care services within the Recovery Services Unit when appropriate

Provision of brief treatment services for individuals transitioning to other FSDC or community providers.

The focus of work in this sector is facilitating quick access to basic need services such as medical, employment and financial while engaging individuals in a shared assessment of their behavioral health care issues and the treatment and/or referral options available to them.

Crisis Services: Mobile Crisis Services provide prompt and free mental health care to adults in urgent need. Telephone calls are directly answered by expert clinicians.

Short-term counseling bridges new clients to their first appointment at the Welcoming and Immediate Services Center. Mobile Crisis Services also provide close follow-up support for persons assisted by "first responders" (police, fire fighters and EMS). Download SWCMHS Mobile Crisis Brochure.

Ongoing community-based services in Stamford are organized around four levels of care:

Intensive Community Support (ICS): This is a comprehensive wrap around service for people who have had consistent difficulty with severe psychiatric illnesses, numerous hospitalizations and repeated difficulty with a less intensive level of care. This client group have often been over represented among the homeless, those in jails and prisons and those thought to be “treatment resistant”. Intensive Community Support Services are individually tailored with each client and address the preferences and identified goals of each client. The approach with each client emphasizes relationship building and active involvement in assisting individuals with severe and persistent mental illness to make improvements in functioning, to better manage symptoms, to achieve individual goals and to maintain optimism. As with the previous units, psychiatric, nursing, co-occurring, peer-lead and employment services are imbedded.

Community Support Services: Community Support Services will be offered for consumers that may need assistance for a longer period of time. Their individualized needs and preferences will be at the center of treatment. Mental health and substance abuse services will be delivered under the overarching concept of personal recovery and directed at meeting the financial, residential, vocational, educational and social needs of the consumer. Keeping person-centered, the consumer will identify their needs and goals. Psychiatric, nursing, co-occurring, employment and peer-led services are used to augment the work of the Community Support Services staff.

We strive to create a world where Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals are empowered, celebrated and fully included in all aspects of society. Here’s a look into just part of the impact we’ve had in the past year.

Matthew’s journey to Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf is an inspiring story of overcoming challenges and finding success. Despite struggling in a public school, Matthew has thrived at Mill Neck, where he has made many friends, learned valuable skills through internships, and built his self-confidence. His story is a testament to the positive impact of the school’s vocational program and supportive community.

The Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf, in collaboration with the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation and the Rotary Club of Floral Park Bell Rose, recently launched a Kindness Garden project. The Garden is a tribute to Catherine, a young girl who loved animals and believed in the power of kindness. The Garden provides a safe haven for insects, bees, monarchs, and other butterflies, and promotes kindness in local communities and beyond.

Rita Farencino’s journey of discovery about her daughters’ hearing loss has been challenging, but the Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf has been a source of comfort and support. The school provides a safe haven for families with deaf and hard of hearing children, offering assistance, resources, and a welcoming environment. Rita and her family have learned sign language and other communication skills to help them communicate with each other. The school has become like a second family, providing invaluable support and guidance.
