What is a FSP?

A Full-Service Partnership (FSP) program is a targeted mental health initiative offering a spectrum of services tailored to the needs of individuals with severe mental illness. It's designed to empower participants by providing them with the tools and support necessary for self-sufficiency and improved quality of life. FSP focuses on intensive, wraparound services all geared towards stabilizing and improving the participant's mental health and overall well-being.
