Mission: Eliot community human services is a non-profit human services agency dedicated to enhancing the quality of lives. Guided by compassion and respect, our mission is accomplished by responding to the needs and diversity of the individuals we serve, providing comprehensive services that are individualized, accessible, educational and strength based, delivering high quality, evidence-based programming, valuing, enriching and partnering with our staff, our clients and our communities. The philosophical foundation of eliot is our commitment to serving the most vulnerable of populations, those who are most at risk and have limited or no resources to access help. The programs within the eliot network provide a continuum of care to a varied population. Our programs collaborate with one another, utilizing the expertise within the agency to provide the highest standard of quality services to our clients, their families, other caregivers and our funding sources.
Programs: Ambulatory programming: operating four outpatient clinics that provide mental health services to children, adolescents, adults and elders including diagnostic evaluation, couples, family and group work, psychopharmacological services and psychological testing, information and referral, consultation and case management services, substance abuse services, court ordered treatment for anger management, driving under the influence of alcohol and alcohol treatment, batterer intervention programming and 24 hour emergency coverage. We also offer emergency services to area hospitals including a crisis team which provides mobile psychiatric evaluation, intervention, stabilization and follow up for children, adults and elders, a 7 bed crisis stabilization diversionary program and case advocacy and support services.
adult programming: providing community based residential programming to adults with chronic mental illness as well as to adults with developmental disabilities in homes located throughout the commonwealth. Also providing support to the same populations who have attained a sufficient level of self-preservation and live in their own apartments, this support is done through case management and community support services. Day services for this population are offered in different areas and serve the various levels of the population. We also run 3 pact programs, a national model of care to individuals with mental illness that provide wraparound services to adults. These day programs offer life skills as well as vocational and employment support services. We operate a large homeless division covering the entire commonwealth and provide services such as street based mental health and outreach services, a shelter for women, housing assistance and advocacy in several communities, entitlement linkage, and medical and mental health treatment. We also run a specialized residential program for adults suffering from brain injuries.
