The Mission of Independence Center is to enhance the quality of life, to promote independent functioning, and to facilitate personal growth for adults with a history of mental illness.
To achieve this, Independence Center provides ongoing social, educational, vocational, and housing opportunities.
Do you share our passion for this cause? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers, community connections, donors and long-term advocates to help us make our vision a reality. We'll help you find a way to get involved that best suits you, and we're excited to have you join our team!
Our goal is to provide adults with mental illness seeking the opportunity to be productive members of society the tools they need to achieve their goals in independence.
To that end, the Independence Center endeavors to provide quality rehabilitative programs, vocational training, and other support services that allow for reintegration into full social functioning, serving effected individuals and their community.
