Family Support Program

The Family Support Program (FSP) is a state-funded program that provides access to intensive mental health services and support to youth with a severe emotional disturbance. The goal of the FSP is to support eligible youth and their families by strengthening family stability, improving family outcomes, and promoting community- based services.

  • Application and appeal assistance
  • Assistance in determining level of treatment needed (residential vs. specialized community mental health services), referrals for needed services (e.g. residential, specialized therapies, etc.), and provision of Rule 132 mental health services (assessment, treatment planning, therapy/counseling, community support, case management, and vocational assessment/assistance).
