FSH is known for evidence-based treatment and innovative practices.

The program’s population typically includes clients experiencing psychotic disorders or major mood disorders who may also have a primary or secondary personality disorder. Our primary focus is providing psychiatric rehabilitation through a nurturing and safe environment that fosters recovery. Our ultimate goal is to promote social connection and target prosocial values to help move these individuals toward self-management and reintegration into the community. The Recovery and Self-Motivation Program treats these individuals using a combination of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Prosocial Principles, while incorporating Restorative Justice practices.
