SSG-Project 180 turns lives around through innovative, wraparound services that keep people out of institutions and in their communities. Project 180 is a leader in the forensic treatment space, offering high-quality, specialized treatment programs that serve thousands of justice-involved individuals. Our programs span criminal justice intercepts and include pre-arrest interventions, court-based diversions, jail in-reach, and intensive post-release services. Project 180 operates in partnership with county agencies including the Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Department of Health Services (DHS), and the Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD).

The Full Service Partnership (FSP) program adopts a “whatever it takes” approach to provide intensive, wraparound, field based services to adults who have significant mental health problems. The FSP program assists with housing, employment and education in addition to providing mental health services and integrated treatment for individuals who have a co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorder. Services can be provided to individuals in their homes, the community and other locations.

Under the supervision of the Program Supervisor and Clinical Supervisor, the therapist is responsible for providing intensive, wraparound, field based clinical services to include psychotherapy, rehabilitation, clinical case management and crisis intervention to FSP clients at the DMH Interim Housing site. The FSP therapists also serve as a member of a multidisciplinary treatment team. A successful FSP therapist will actively engage this population in services, supporting their clients in making progress towards meaningful recovery goals.
