In fiscal year 2023 we provided 100+ adults with mental illness housing in properties owned by wellspring and over 450 people in scattered site mainstream rental units. Services like case management, peer support, and therapy are available to clients in our housing programs. To qualify for these programs a client must have a documented mental health disability/illness, many have a substance abuse d/o, a physical health condition, and /or are homeless. More than 522 people participated in wellspring housing programs in fiscal year 2024. In 2023, we extended our accreditation in community housing for another 3 years.

Wellspring, through our bhso (behavioral health organization), provides outpatient group tx, individual therapy, case management and peer support as well as intensively supported specialty programs like assertive community treatment (act) team, wish which provides seven day a week support services to highly vulnerable clients, and pic (program for integrated care) which is a samhsa supported program for adults with co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders. In 2023, we extended our accreditation in outpatient service and case management for another 3 years (the maximum achievable outcome). We served 643 people through our bhso in 2024.

Wellspring's supported employment program is based on an evidenced based model called ips or individual placement & support. This approach focuses on helping clients with mental illness to develop employment goals that truly reflect their interests, values, skills, and experiences and seeks to help these clients find competitive employment that aligns with their goals.
