Delaware PROMISE program (Promoting Optimal Mental Health for Individuals through Supports and Empowerment)

“The PROMISE program (Promoting Optimal Mental Health for Individuals through Supports and Empowerment) will target individuals with behavioral health needs and functional limitations to offer an array of home and community-based services (HCBS) that are person-centered, recovery-oriented, and aimed at supporting beneficiaries in the community.

PROMISE will provide a variety of community based services such as:

  • Care Management

  • Short-Term Small Group Supported Employment
  • Financial Coaching
  • Benefits Counselling
  • Peer support
