Your friends in Memphis can link you to care early!
At Friends For All, we have Early Intervention Services (EIS) that can assist our Friends/clients in the Mid-South. We help our clients in their first steps to receiving care. Scroll below to find out more about our Early Intervention Services and what our team does for our Mid-South Friends!
linkage to care
The EIS team offers support, care, knowledge, and wisdom for clients who are newly diagnosed, being released from incarceration, in-care, but have identified issues that adversely impact retention in care or out of care. We create the first steps in assessing each client’s unique needs, which leads to developing a personalized care plan and linking the client to providers that offer comprehensive medical care and Medical Case Managers.
