Community and Justice Support Services (CJSS)
Many community residents may find themselves struggling with the impacts of stress, hardship, anxiety, depression and substance use. Such struggles can impact people’s lives, and even lead to unintended interaction with law enforcement and the legal system.

CJSS is a specialized service designed to help community residents navigate these difficult times with the understanding, compassion and support they need.
CJSS provides community based support and services to assist each person in finding wellness, assistance and connection to needed support all in the hopes or reducing unwanted interaction with the legal and justice system.
If you are someone you know is experiencing such struggles, please reach out to CJSS for more information! This program is open to all adult community residents who are experiencing emotional/mental distress, substance use issues and either have experienced interactions with law enforcement or believe there will be impending interaction with law enforcement due to the struggles.
