Mission
“To provide information and support while encouraging hope and faith”
Vision
Our vision is to ensure that all individuals who have been impacted in some way by a negative life situation will have access to information that will empower them to make informed decisions about their mental health and fulfill their God given purpose for living.
Service Goals
There are several factors that have influenced the development of the organizations’ mission, objectives and goals. These factors include: the ongoing challenges faced by individuals who have been impacted by a severe and persistent mental illness in the area of obtaining assistance, information and support; the importance of religion/spirituality in the lives of those individuals who adhere to these beliefs, and the current mental health disparities within the African American community.
