Individual Support is a "hands-on" service for persons with Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). The intent of the service is to teach and assist individuals in carrying out Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), such as preparing meals, managing medicines, grocery shopping and managing money, so they can live independently in the community. The goal is that the need for this service will fade or decrease over time as the individual becomes capable of performing some of these activities more independently.
