Scott was very shy and passive when he was first admitted to FSC-FSP. His mother did most of the talking and he did not want to do his case management sessions without her present. Scott struggled with Mental Health symptoms of Schizophrenia and had little to no independence or responsibilities and the belief that he would never be independent. Thanks to help from his treatment team, Scott now manages his own appointments with only transport from mom. He met his goal of enrolling in Community College and has begun classes. He has learned how to effectively advocate for himself during phone calls and medical appointments and has taught his peers to do likewise. Whenever there is a time for clients to speak up and share their journey he is the first to do so. Scott has learned new hobbies and interests, gained a broad range of coping skills, found comfort in one on one therapy and has thrived in group therapy. It is important to note the growth Scott’s mother has also gone through since Scott first engaged in treatment. She now sees the need for her son’s independence and when to step back and let him take the lead. She has even said when he comes home from group and case management sessions he teaches her about what he learned and that she uses these skills for herself. Scott and mom have both expressed their gratitude for the program. Since working his program Scott move from FSP level of care to ICM and upon discharge Scott is now receiving Outpatient services in the community. Scott’s story is a testament to the importance of continuity of care as people progress through their treatment
