Madison Center serves St. Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall, La <br />Porte and Porter counties. Madison Center provides a full array of services to children, <br />adolescents, families, adults and geriatrics.

One of the programs is the Community Support Program (CSP). This program <br />provides case management services to the seriously mentally ill population that are <br />homeless or who have a history of homelessness.
