How Cornerstone Can Help?
When clients come to Cornerstone, they immediately receive assistance with basic, self-care needs. They also receive mental health care assessments and participate in daily individual counseling sessions and self-help groups. Special areas of focus are the development of independent living skills and money management.
As clients develop trusting relationships with counselors, they may choose to receive additional services such as psychiatric evaluation, treatment for concurrent mental illness and substance abuse, and medication monitoring. Clients are also provided assistance in obtaining transitional or permanent housing.
The Cornerstone facility is easily accessible. It is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For homeless individuals who cannot come to the facility, the Cornerstone Mobile Outreach Team provides outreach services in the community.
