  Parent Partner Program
  

  The Parent Partner Program supports parents through a peer model designed to assist families, and specifically parents of children struggling with mental health issues. By offering peer support to the parents, the family’s ability to access, navigate, and manage their mental health concerns is improved.

  Full Service Partnership
  

  FSPs are a “whatever it takes” service delivery that provides care management from the perspective of a partnership with the consumer and their natural supports. Specialty mental health providers identify consumers that are at risk, or require higher levels of care or more intensive service delivery. Care plans may include crisis prevention and response. When consumers no longer need the level of intensity offered by FSPs they are transitioned to less intensive outpatient services.
