Goal: Our goal is to provide information, support, and encouragement—grounded in hope and faith—to individuals coping with the effects of severe and persistent mental illness or challenging life circumstances. While our services are open to all, we place particular emphasis on supporting adults within faith-based communities, senior citizens, veterans, African Americans, and individuals experiencing economic hardship. This focus reflects our awareness of the disparities affecting these groups and the importance of targeted, culturally responsive support.
