Mental Health Acceptance, Promotion & Support (M.A.P.S.)
Health & Well-being
When you’re in need of mental health support, the wait time, insurance, and finding the right provider can keep you from getting the help you’re looking for.
That’s why we created the M.A.P.S. Initiative.
This unique program works to connect participants to continuous mental health services, while providing up to 8 free therapy sessions in the meantime!
Who is the program for?
- Be between 18 and 25 years old
- Have spent at least one day in foster care in Indiana at or after the age of 14
- Not already connected to a mental health provider
- Seeking to be enrolled in consistent mental health services
Benefits of the Program:
- Quick access to care
- Options for talk therapy and music therapy
- Built-in, guided mental health reflection
- Up to $100 dollars for completing intake and 3 surveys (after 2nd, 6th, & 8th session)
Surveys and Stipends:
Three times throughout the program, you will receive a survey and reflect on your participation in the program and your personal mental health journey. After the intake and each survey, you will receive a stipend for taking the time to provide your feedback reflection. The survey answers will be seen only by Foster Success, but may be shared without details for data reporting.
Process
1.
Log in or create a Foster Success account.
2.
Start a Basic Needs Application. In the application, mark that you are seeking mental health support.
3.
Our team will be in touch within 1-3 business days to schedule an intake meeting with you. After intake, you will receive $25.
4.
If you meet all qualifications, you will get paired with a therapist and start attending your sessions. After the 2nd, 6th, and 8th sessions, you will receive a survey and $25 for completing each one.
5.
Once you start meeting with your therapist, Foster Success staff will work with you to identify your options for consistent mental health support. Before your 8 sessions are over, our goal is to have you connected to an affordable, accessible, mental health provider who is a good fit for you.
6.
Once you’re connected to a continuous mental health provider or when you hit your 8-session limit, you will transition away from your M.A.P.S. therapist and complete the program!
