FSP is a preventative, six-month case management program. The program is designed for families to obtain self-sufficiency by teaching them critical skills and tools to resolve crises and avoid future hardships while achieving long term stability. The program’s primary objectives are to improve financial management skills, employability, family stability and mental health functioning, as well as maintain or improve housing. This is accomplished by providing clients with a variety of supportive services.
The Family Stabilization Program is available at no cost to participants.
To apply, call (407) 644-7593 ext. 250 (City of Orlando, Seminole County) or ext. 236 (Orange County).

Program Spotlight:
Counseling, Growth and Development Program

|
October 10th was World Mental Health Day. According to the World Federation for Mental Health, this year's theme is ‘Mental Health in an Unequal World’. They cite that between 75% to 95% of people with mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries are unable to access mental health services at all, and access in high income countries is not much better. |
|
At JFS Orlando, we aim to make mental health care more accessible. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and almost all insurances. We are also one of the few remaining agencies in Central Florida that operates on a sliding fee scale for those who do not have insurance or have an insurance we do not accept.
