"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." — Henry Ford

We have come a long way. The successful outcomes of those who have completed treatment and care in therapeutic programs and schools are overwhelmingly positive. Do challenges remain? Absolutely. But the NATSAP community endures, evolves, and ensues. Join the conversation about the larger mental and behavioral health environment and share the successes that make this space special.
