What We Do

firsthand is transforming the way individuals living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) receive care. We are focused on delivering real outcomes for a cohort that has historically been underserved, stigmatized, and deprioritized. By building a service focused on whole-person care, firsthand aims to find, establish a trusting relationship with, and support quality care for individuals living with complex experiences of SMI. Most importantly, our goal is to be the trusted guide, partner, and first call for individuals we serve, guiding them to a life of stability and independence. In doing so, we will not only improve lives, but also improve the economics for managed care plans and states responsible for providing care to this community. This enables us to build solutions that scale and, as a result, change the way our society supports those most impacted by serious mental illness.

Why Work With Us

Our frontline colleagues bring lived experience with serious mental illness to their work- they’ve walked in the shoes of those we serve. They can build trust in a way many others cannot.

Much of our team has a personal connection to the mental illness space, and we come together from a wide variety of backgrounds to unite in this common mission.
