New York City’s Fountain House To Be Honored By National Council For Supportive Employment Program
Circle Connections: Awards & Accreditations Fountain House has received the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare's Award of Excellence (First Prize) in recognition of our outstanding supported education program. Fountain House will officially receive this award, which includes a $10,000 prize, on April 9. Fountain House's approach to supported education is about much more than services. The program is rooted in Fountain House's successful "working community," through which members connect to an entire peer culture. They learn to advocate for themselves, they support each other, and they share relevant information and experiences, while the staff provides . . .
