The Colchester Residential Services Society

Colchester Residential Services Society (CRSS) is a non-profit, publicly funded agency established in 1979 which provides community-based supports for children and adults with disabilities in Colchester County. The service delivery focus for all aspects of the agency's operations is the development of skills requisite both to a quality of life at home and meaningful community access and participation. All facets of the agency's operation are based on the premise that each person supported by the agency is capable of change and growth. The potential for change may vary from person to person (as it does with all people) but, to the degree that it exists, it should be recognized and encouraged. It is the responsibility of CRSS to provide opportunities for those changes to be positive experiences for each person and his/her community. The development of services for people supported by CRSS is guided by the standards set out in its "Service Principles" document.
