The PSS focuses on creating a supportive and compassionate relationship with individuals to help them move through the program to live the life they desire.

The PSS develops relationships with FEC’s participants through shared mental health experiences, system navigation, and other aspects of their lives. The PSS will work closely with persons served to support them in their connection to the FEC team, their families, and the community.
