Our History

One in five families in the nation is affected by mental illness. Fellowship Health Resources, Inc. is a major not-for-profit agency providing both clinical and support services to persons recovering from mental illness, co-occurring disorders, and other life challenges in the states of Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.

For more than 35 years, Fellowship Health Resources has enjoyed an admirable reputation and significant growth in the communities it serves. Fellowship Health Resources’ staff is dedicated to delivering and coordinating excellent comprehensive community-based services that promote independence, stability, and increased skill levels to its clients. Key to the organization’s success is its quality programming, skilled staff, and philosophy of treatment. Since opening its first group home in 1975, Fellowship Health Resources has helped many thousands of people start new lives of dignity and purpose.

Fellowship Health Resources began providing services as the first Community Residence in the State of Rhode Island in 1975, launched programs in Massachusetts in 1980, developed the first Continuous Treatment Team in Sussex County, Delaware, in 1990, and instituted its Neuro-Cognitive Behavioral Program in Bangor, Maine, in 1999. Fellowship Health Resources opened its doors in Arlington, Virginia, in 1999 and piloted the first Correctional Discharge Planning Program in Rhode Island in 2001. In 2004, the Fellowship enhanced its variety of services to include a Single Clinical Home Model of mental health care in Chester County, Pennsylvania. In the spring of 2005, Fellowship Health Resources launched the David L. Taton Learning Institute. As the Fellowship’s educational division, the Institute ensures the integrity of each of its treatment models by providing its staff members with extensive training in their area of service. In May 2007, Fellowship Health Resources expanded its service area to include the community of Wake County, North Carolina.
