Our mission is to promote rehabilitation and recovery for individuals with mental illness and to encourage the highest possible level of independence and self-determination for each person we serve.

Progress Foundation provides the full spectrum of treatment from short term Crisis Residential to moderate and long term Transitional Residential treatment. We also provide Case Management services in both permanent independent housing and treatment focused cooperative living apartments. Each program level is designed to meet the needs of clients with the level of support necessary for that individual. Admission to all Progress Foundation programs is on a voluntary basis only.

The primary treatment philosophy of Progress Foundation is described by the Principles of Social Rehabilitation, which emphasize the role of a home-like treatment environment, the importance of building honorable therapeutic relationships and the significance of encouraging the active participation of the client in his or her own treatment planning.

The five main principles of Social Rehabilitation are:

•	Normalized, home-like treatment environments
•	Active client involvement in treatment planning
•	Flexibility and individualized treatment goals
•	Appropriate clinical challenges, risk-taking to learn new skills
•	Providing a diverse, well-trained staff
