Programs Provided in the FHR Virginia Region

The Fellowship Health Resources’ Virginia Region provides treatment and support services for adults experiencing a mental health crisis and/or have an ongoing need for support due to a major mental illness.

Programs provided in the FHR VA Region are:

Intensive Supported Living Services (ISLS)
A program of Recovery-based Support Services for seriously mentally ill adults who are able to live independently, but require some level of supervision in the community. Support Workers ensure that the people they work with take their medications properly, train and assist them to pay their bills, manage their household, and cope with any mental health emergencies that arise. We help our consumers find opportunities to be involved in the Arlington, VA, community, teach them how to use public transportation, and monitor their well-being.

Intensive Community Residential Treatment (ICRT)
ICRT consists of two group homes in Arlington, VA, that assist individuals with mental illness to prepare and transition to independent living. The homes are staffed around the clock to assist and teach the residents how to cook, maintain their home, and take care of their medical and emotional needs. Each resident has an Individualized Plan that guides them towards moving to a less treatment intensive, more self-regulating life. A staff psychiatrist works with the residents and the staff to make certain that they are receiving the proper psychotropic medications. A staff nurse monitors the medical status of the residents.

ACCESS and Brandon House
The goal of these Crisis Stabilization homes is to help individuals avoid hospitalization or re-hospitalization during psychiatric crises, by offering a short-term alternative within the community. The Crisis Stabilization staff provides treatment in a supportive and nurturing home environment to assist people as they resolve stress, become stabilized on medications, and prepare to return home or otherwise re-enter the community. The programs are designed to instill hope and a sense of family, with the ultimate goal of attaining the highest level of stability possible.

Community Reintegration Programs
Located in detention facilities, these two programs provide re-entry transition services to incarcerated offenders from 45-90 days prior to their release and are continued through their first 45 days following release. Offenders participate in daily workshops that teach Life Skills, Cognitive Thinking, Employability Skills, Anger Management, Money Management, and ways to avoid Domestic Violence.
