Comprehensive Community Services (CCS)
Now serving: Milwaukee, Rock, Walworth, Jefferson County
At Our Space, Inc., we believe recovery is not linear. It is a personal, self-directed journey shaped by choice, connection, empowerment, and community. Our Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) program is a structured, recovery-oriented mental health service designed for adults who are actively working toward personal goals.
CCS services are person-centered, trauma-informed, and authorized through an individualized Plan of Care, ensuring that supports are meaningful, intentional, and aligned with each participant’s recovery goals.
What Is CCS?
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) is a Wisconsin Medicaid–funded mental health program that provides planned, documented, and goal-focused services. CCS is different from open community programs because it requires enrollment and active participation in recovery planning.
CCS is not a drop-in service. While some CCS groups take place during Drop-In Center hours, CCS participation always requires:
-
CCS enrollment
-
An approved Plan of Care
-
Authorization for each service
What We Offer
Our CCS services support individuals in building skills, increasing insight, and strengthening daily functioning in ways that align with their personal recovery goals.
Weekday CCS groups focus on:
-
Emotional regulation and coping strategies
-
Communication and interpersonal skills
-
Confidence building and self-advocacy
-
Problem-solving and daily living skills
-
Creative expression and identity exploration
-
Community connection and belonging
-
Harm reduction
Groups are structured, recovery-focused, and facilitated as authorized CCS services.
CCS Group Formats at Our Space
Our Space offers CCS peer support groups in two formats, depending on setting and structure:
Drop-In–Integrated CCS Groups
These CCS groups occur during Drop-In Center hours.
Although the environment is shared, the service itself is CCS.
-
CCS enrollment and Plan of Care authorization are required
-
Attendance is documented as a CCS service
-
Participation in Drop-In Center activities is not required
CCS-Only Groups
These are scheduled groups specifically for CCS members.
-
CCS enrollment required
-
Closed or semi-closed structure
-
Separate from Drop-In Center participation
-
Designed for focused, goal-oriented recovery work
If a person is attending a CCS group—regardless of location—they must be enrolled in CCS and authorized in their Plan of Care.
Peer Support
A key component of our program is peer support. Certified Peer Specialists provide one-on-one sessions rooted in lived experience, mutuality, and shared understanding. Through grounding techniques, wellness strategies, and authentic connection, peers help participants make sense of their experiences, build hope, and strengthen self-advocacy. This holistic approach recognizes the whole person, mind, body, emotions, relationships, and community and supports individuals in discovering what wellness means for them.
Our Philosophy
At Our Space, Inc., recovery is empowered through choice, supported through connection, and nurtured through community. Our CCS program offers a space where participants can explore, heal, and grow with dignity and where every voice matters.
