Community Support Services South (CSS) - a specialist service within Ember - is responsible for engaging and supporting people who face challenges with their mental wellbeing. The aim is that everyone can engage in their chosen community and achieve their fullest potential. This includes working with the individual as well as a commitment to work actively in partnership with family/whanau, Clinical Partners and/or GP services. Our catchment area is aligned with our Te Whatu Ora Clinical Partners Rapua te Ao Waiora and Nga Raukohekohe(Papakura and Franklin). The employees act as a positive role model throughout the process.

The service promotes self management and self reliance and supports people with accommodation, transport, training, employment, self care, and personal and interpersonal skills so that people are enabled to live independently in the community of their choice. Staff work hard to guide and mentor using each and every opportunity to create independence, walking alongside an individual with the goal of total independence.

The service is for people who are currently, or recently been, engaged with Clinical Partners who are finding it difficult to live in their community, or to reach their desired goals.

As a service we have fully embraced the Strengths Model and Te Whare Tapa Wha.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”.
