To serve adults with developmental disabilities with complex and multiple needs by:
Developmental Services Ontario (DSO) is responsible for identifying DS eligible adults with developmental disabilities who have High Support Complex Care Needs (HSCCN) and who are appropriate for referral to the CNSC for Complex Support Coordination (including Health Care Facilitation) and/or Dual Diagnosis Justice Case Management.
Staff Roles and Key Functions
Complex Support Coordination (CSC) may be required when the available resources are not sufficient to address a person’s needs and/or when all existing resources within the local system have been exhausted. The Complex Support Coordinator provides the right type of services and supports at the right time and place that span the service continuum/system. Services and supports are based on what is appropriate for the person (e.g., from intensive to less intensive needs).
The Dual Diagnosis Justice Case Managers (DDJCM) have worked collaboratively alongside other court support workers and discharge planners to support court diversion of people with developmental disabilities and/or dual diagnosis.
These positions are currently housed and offered through the Canadian Mental Health Association, Ottawa Branch. For more information, please visit their website.
The mandate of the French Language Specialized Services Resource (La Ressource) is to improve access to specialized clinical services in French province-wide, thus improving local service delivery in collaboration with Ontario agencies serving Francophone adults with developmental disabilities and mental health needs and/or challenging behaviours and complex needs. La Ressource is led by the accountable agency, Valor & Solutions. La Ressource compliments the CNSC in executing its four functions in order for Francophones to have access to specialized services in French.
