FELLOWSHIP HOUSE

The mission of Fellowship House is meaningful, and the work being done with clients has a tangible impact in the community. From an operational standpoint, the environment allows you to carry out your responsibilities effectively, and the team dynamic is generally functional, with a range of personalities that, overall, allow the day to day workflow to move forward.

There is, however, a structural gap in how compensation is aligned with the current economic landscape. When viewed against present day cost of living and operational demands, the overall structure feels anchored to standards that no longer reflect today’s conditions. In practical terms, this creates a scenario where the role does not fully offset the real costs associated with performing it.

Understanding the constraints that organizations in this sector may operate under, bringing compensation practices into closer alignment with current realities would likely strengthen staff sustainability, retention, and overall organizational stability.

Coordination of services for mental health patients, crisis intervention, home visits, advocacy services, including in social workers, and Judges, attorneys, prosecutors, and other professionals on behalf of the participant, court hearings, individual interventions, case discussion with counselors, psychiatrists, PCPs, case management notes, individualized treatment plans development and review, and other related documentation. I learned to increase patience and empathy levels toward others situations. Fellowship House promotes the team work in order to provide a service of excellence. The relationship between co-workers is very supportive. The hardest part of the job is confronting the nature of some cases that may become sad and heart breaking situations, and as case managers, we have to remain strong in order to provide support to the client. The most enjoyable part is when a case manager is able to observe the result of a well done work and the satisfaction of a client. It also a very positive experience when we are able to observe a client increasing his/her independent life skills with the assistance of the case manager. 


This is a great option for any entry-level psych-related degree holder who is interested in pursuing a career in the psych field. You will gain a lot of quality experience in working directly with the mentally ill population for your resume for future endeavors. However, for me this was not a long-term option, as the salary is pretty limited considering how involved you are: treatment planning, medication management, residential coordination, transportation coordination, court/probation coordination, etc. In addition, you are also involved in assisting the clients out in the community, so on top of periodic home visits, you can also be expected to take them to medical appointments, probation appointments, court dates, or agencies to help them with paperwork/documentation, based on what the specific client's needs and support system are. In all honesty, this job was very simple, and you're able to work pretty independently which I liked, so as long as you have time management and customer service skills, this was a very valuable experience that looks impressive to employers later on, atleast in my case.

I worked with recently released inmates (to the halfway house), who were recovering from many forms of addictions. I monitored their behavior throughout my shift. I did bed checks and appointed jobs to these clients. I wrote reports at the end of my shift. I learned how to deal with difficult personalities and manipulators. I learned to use tact to get them to do what I needed them to do. My co-workers used different methods, but knew what they were doing as well. I worked well with them. The hardest part of the job was having to out think some of the talented and creative thinkers housed there. The most enjoyable part of the job was being constantly busy and finding the clients in some cases very interesting people to deal with, but at the same time always being mindful that those people had criminal minds. Don't be alone and turn your back on them.

Amazing and purpose driven organization fulfilling an essential service to those most vulnerable in Miami. Fellowship House is indispensable, however, the organization pays an unlivable starting salary. You cannot live on this income alone as a single adult (you need a second income or to be living at home).
However, it is a great learning environment and the organization is filled with amazing people who truly care about our members.

The organization needs to increase starting salaries to prevent crazy high turnover rates. It's a disservice to our members to always be so understaffed as a result of poor salary.

Fun place to work with supportive management. As a PSR counselor is our responsibility for the overall well being of all our forensic mentally ill members.The treatment program provided includes and not limited to: social skills, community integration skills, independent living skills, activity of daily living, substance use, and legal aspects. The staff are professional and knowledgeable. The hardest part of work is confronting relapse and the instability of some members and the most enjoyable part is seeing other members recover and obtaining a better quality of life style without the use of illicit substance.

I have seen the reviews about salary and there is truth to that but other salaries at non profits in behavioral health are similar.  They like to promote from within and salaries get better as you move up.  Very flexible with time.  Can use the experience you get there for your whole career.  Many people leave and come back so the grass is not always greener. If you need experience in mental heath before you go back to school this is a great place.  If you want to advance and learn different aspects of a non profit you can do that to. 

I managed a small retail grocery/food counter with a variety of disabled individuals.  I taught how to cook a meal and how to serve it.  I trained the individuals how to operate the cash register and use different equipment in the store to make delicious food.
I learned how to motivate individuals to work as a team to produce a product the public wanted to eat.
The hardest part of the job was the emotional demands of being responsible to the job while managing needy workers.
We had lots of laughs all day long.

The members in the community are amazing. You connect with all the members instantly and the staff is very friendly, BUT the pay is horrible. They pay you a salary and you end up working over time as a case manager because you are always writing notes. You are not allowed to work while you are not clocked in, but you aren't allowed to work more than 37.5 hours either.. so you have to submit notes in time and you cannot write them at work because you are dealing with your members/clients.. you end up working at home because you need to turn the notes in and you end up working off the clock

Everyone here had shown me so much compassion and kindness. Words cannot express how much that have helped me grow professional and emotionally. My manager had a great structure to form me the way I am even though it was only a couple of months of working there. If I could stay, I would've 10/10 stayed. This job was the sole reason of how I didn't want to move to Orlando to further my education. But ultimately I had to anyways. Overall very understanding, caring, well structured, and thankful for them giving me a chance. :)
