It is the mission of Fellowship House to assist adults with severe and persistent psychiatric disabilities, including individuals that also have co-occurring substance abuse disorders, achieve the maximum level of community integration and self-reliance. This is accomplished by providing a comprehensive continuum of programs and services offering supportive opportunities for vocational and social rehabilitation, as well as residential options, psychiatric and case management services. Fellowship House is committed to helping the persons served (our members), to better understand their illness, develop coping strategies, and improve their quality of life.
Fellowship House was established in 1973 through a Community Support Program grant awarded to the Mental Health Association of Dade County, as part of a pioneering effort to support deinstitutionalization.
Designed after the “clubhouse” model, it quickly became independently incorporated and was designated a demonstration project for the State of Florida by the National Institute of Mental Health.
Since then, we’ve expanded our services to include employment support, case management, outpatient treatment, and residential programs. Today, we serve more than 1,000 members annually across South Florida.
Fellowship House serves adults living with serious and persistent mental health conditions, including those with co-occurring substance use disorders. Many of our members manage conditions such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. These conditions can significantly affect daily life without consistent, comprehensive support.
We provide community-based services throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Our programs promote dignity, empowerment, and meaningful progress while addressing each member’s individual needs.
We welcome referrals from physicians, hospitals, mental health providers, social service agencies, and family members. Individuals may also refer themselves. If you or someone you care about needs support, we’re here to help!
As a recipient of federal Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SAPTBG) funds, we follow federal admission guidelines. These guidelines require us to prioritize pregnant women seeking treatment for substance use disorders.
Fellowship House strives to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone.
