FRONT DOOR DIVERSION PROGRAM (FDDP)
Embracing the potential for a better future.
WHAT IS FDDP?
NYAP’s Front Door Diversion Program empowers individuals who are being considered for possible long-term mental health care with a more peaceful community-living option after hospital discharge.
FDDP assists and transitions individuals into independence within their own space while seeking supportive community programming that best fits their needs instead of putting them in long-term care (LTC) facilities,
