At Burton Southern, staff live/work on site twenty-four hours a day and take responsibility for engaging and supporting adults with mental illness in their individual endeavors at wellness, consistent with their desire, tolerance, and capacity to participate.
Our services are designed to lessen the stress associated with reintegration into community living. We emphasize the development of personal management skills in a supportive setting. Working closely with local community service providers, we give full support and provide advocacy to help mentally ill adults gain full access to community and rehabilitative services, social programming, employment, educational and vocational training, and volunteer work. We follow residents’ successes and monitor progress closely. Medications are centrally stored and are self-administered under direct supervision
