Let your community support you!
We appreciate your patience as we finish our redesign, and look forward to announcing the completion of our website in the near future.
We are cultivating mental health opportunities and promoting individual recovery and wellness through:
From holding educational and fundraising events, to growing the ministry, to evaluating and expanding programs, to establishing both a crisis-intervention facility and a long-term recovery residence, our goals represent what we see as current mental health opportunities in our community.
About one in five adults has a diagnosable mental disorder. Mental illnesses are more common than cancer, diabetes or heart disease. Also, data shows that if you have a mental illness, your chance of having a substance use disorder is as high as 50%. Mental illness can affect persons of any age, race, religion, gender identity or socioeconomic status. People affected by mental illness include our church members, our friends and families, and ourselves, as well as all the people who support those experiencing mental illness. With proper care and treatment, between 70 and 90 percent of persons with mental illnesses experience a significant reduction of symptoms and an improved quality of life.
Better yet, see us in person! All Board meetings are open to the public.
We love our community. Join us at our events, meetings and fundraisers. Say Yes! Be Aware! Show You Care!
