community support systems

Community support systems are networks of organizations and services that help individuals and families address various needs, such as mental health, healthcare, housing, employment, and social connection. These systems aim to provide accessible resources, coordination, and assistance to improve well-being and resilience within a community. They often include local government agencies, nonprofits, healthcare providers, and social programs working together to ensure people receive the support they need, fostering a healthier, more connected society.
