The<unk>  is a community mental health service<unk>  that helps people with a history of serious mental illness rejoin society and maintain their place in it; it builds on people's strengths and provides mutual support, along with professional staff support, for people to receive prevocational work training, educational opportunities, and social support. The<unk>  was created by Fountain House, one of the prime settings for what would, in the space of forty years, become the type specimen of the<unk><unk> . Its validity is<unk> ated and approved by<unk>  International. The<unk> , which is non-residential, has its roots in a support group formed in 1943 inside Rockland Psychiatric Center in New York; when people were discharged they met in New York City, and eventually formalized their group in a house in Manhattan that was called "Fountain House". It was "the first psychiatric rehabilitation center of its kind in the United States." The group hired professional staff for the first time in 1955; together staff and members created a set of day programs that, along with the member-centered approach, became the<unk>  for other<unk> s. There is an international<unk>  network, to which member clubs pay dues and which provides accreditation; standards were developed in 1989 and accreditation began in 1992.
