Intensive Supported Living Services (ISLS) is a program of unstructured services for seriously mentally ill adults who are able to live independently, but who require some level of support to maintain stability in the community.

Clients at ISLS are cared for by a cohesive team of skilled professionals, whose treatment modalities are designed to instill in individuals hope and a sense of belonging, with the ultimate goal of increased independence.

The goal of the program is to ensure individual success in community living and to prevent a return to a more structured or restrictive setting. In keeping with this goal, clients assume responsibility for the care and maintenance of their residences and experience the satisfaction of having a home of their own.

From the program’s inception in early 1999, the number of clients served by ISLS has increased dramatically from three to its current census of thirty-four.

Guided by Fellowship Health Resources mission of hope and recovery, each of the thirty-four ISLS clients looks forward, with pride, to becoming happy and productive members of their community.
