Company Overview

Community Solutions Inc.

For over 50 years, CSI has been building upon its successful foundations and has been expanding its services to serve thousands of adults, youth, and families each year.

CSI understands clients and staff have been impacted by trauma.  CSI is becoming a trauma-informed organization by hiring individuals with existing experience in trauma-informed practices as well as supporting ongoing staff development with trauma-informed practices.  This will include learning to recognize symptoms of trauma and how to respond, through training starting at orientation and throughout their career at CSI.  CSI is committed to systematically evaluating the integration of the trauma-informed values of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment at all levels of the organization's policies, procedures, and structures to guard against the possibility of re-traumatization.
