The cornerstone of the County's Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) Community Services and Supports (CSS) plan is to deliver Full Service Partnership (FSP) services for its highest risk consumers with serious mental illness. FSP programs are designed to allow consumers to remain living in the community and decrease their chances of becoming hospitalized or incarcerated by providing case management, medication management, therapy, social activities, and 24/7 response capability to mitigate an evolving crisis.
DISCUSSION:
Caminar provides 30 consumer slots for comprehensive FSP and Housing Support Program (HSP) services. FSP enrollees have services available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. HSP services are provided to FSP enrollees to assist them in achieving independence, stability, and wellness.
