The Family Place
Manchester, NH

Services for homeless families usually separate treatment for mental health and substance abuse concerns and focus on adults rather than children. The Family Place provides intensive family-centered interventions with integrated treatment for mothers with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse issues, therapeutic daycare and afterschool services for children, and training in parenting skills and child development. This new holistic approach includes training teachers, health care and social services providers in the same therapeutic model.

In SHAPE
Keene, NH

Even with appropriate therapy and psychotropic drugs, individuals with severe and persistent mental illness often have reduced longevity and quality of life due to smoking, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. This program will enroll adults with mental illness in community wellness activities such as exercise and dance classes, weight loss programs, and smoking cessation. In SHAPE has been a successful pilot program in Keene, NH and will now offer these services to more than 300 individuals in the surrounding 35 towns.
