About Community Living Support (CLS)

CLS is a recovery-focused mental health service that supports people living with severe mental health challenges to live independently, take charge of their mental health, and work towards personal goals.

By tailoring support to individual needs, we support participants build meaningful and fulfilling lives within their communities.
