Mission Statement
Fountain House College Re-Entry provides a supportive community and educational resources to young adults who have had to suspend their education due to a mental health crisis. This program will empower and prepare students to pursue their educational goals and lead healthy, fulfilling lives. By empowering young adults to achieve their goals, we will mitigate the debilitating effects of stigma, isolation, and hopelessness related to mental illness.
