  • Programs are intended for people with serious mental illness (SMI)
  • SMI refers to a combination of complex behavioral health and functional needs
  • These programs offer more intensive and extended support compared to crisis services
  • The goal is to provide comprehensive care for individuals who require ongoing assistance beyond immediate crisis intervention
