When Naya first reached out for help, she was determined to take back control. She had just entered a transitional housing program and was ready to work toward stability.

Her care team supported her through medication management, job coaching, and weekly counseling. Bit by bit, Naya learned how to manage her symptoms and gained confidence in her ability to handle life’s challenges.

Today, Naya is working, thriving, and has just moved into an apartment of her own. With consistency and care, she turned her commitment into real, lasting change.  

A few years ago, Marcus was going through a really tough time. He was having panic attacks almost every day—sometimes 4 or 5 a week—and would sometimes hear or see things that weren’t really there. It was overwhelming, and he didn’t know what to do next.

That’s when Marcus found a support team that really listened. They helped him understand what was happening and gave him tools to manage his anxiety and hallucinations. Little by little, things started to shift. The panic slowed down, his symptoms became manageable, and Marcus began to feel more like himself again.

Today, Marcus is a college graduate with a degree in education—and he’s now teaching first grade. The same person who once felt consumed by anxiety is now helping kids learn and grow every day.

Jayden’s world felt like it was spinning. He was struggling with confusing thoughts, using cannabis to cope, and felt disconnected from the people around him. After a hospital stay, he wasn’t sure where to turn.

That’s when Jayden met his FEP support team. They connected him with a counselor and a case manager who understood what he was going through. Together, they helped him understand his symptoms, cut down on substance use, and build a sense of self-trust.

Now, Jayden’s on a new path. He’s working toward his GED and dreams of becoming a certified mechanic. With the right support, Jayden is rebuilding his future—step by step.
