History
As one of eight nation wide pilot programs and through grant funding by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Family Mosaic Project (FMP) provides intensive care management and wrap-around services to emotionally troubled children, youth, and their families in San Francisco. FMP adheres to a strength-based and family-focused approach to assessing individual needs and developing effective plans of comprehensive care. Driving the service model of FMP are the concepts of family preservation, wrap-around services, cultural competence, flexible funding, and use of natural environments for service delivery. Through an integrated system of care and under the direction of the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) / Community Behavioral Health Services (CBHS), FMP delivers a wide range of culturally competent services that enhance family unity, capability, and responsibility in order to maintain children and youth in the least restrictive levels of care.
Specialties
Family Mosaic Project (FMP) provides intensive care management and wraparound services to seriously emotionally disturbed children and youth, and their families, in order to reduce the risk of out-of-home placement. If a child is residing outside of the home, FMP attempts to provide services that will either maintain or reduce the current level of care in order to avoid institutionalization, juvenile detention, or other restrictive treatment settings. Services are offered in English, Spanish and Cantonese.
