As we count down to Mental Health Awareness Month starting May 1, and #GivingTuesday on May 5, we want to give back to a community we have seen come together in an amazing way.

Our community is challenged by experiences like never before. No one could have truly prepared for this - but there is help and support. Independence Center continues to serve in all capacities to ensure our community receives the services they require to sustain independence and mental health. While there are a lot of "what ifs" we will not falter and we invite you to join us in our mission.

Follow our Mental Health Journey as we seek to provide tips, tricks, resources and outlets for overall wellness. Every day we will share information on more ways you can stay healthy and happy from the safety of your homes, while socially distancing in the workplace, or while experiencing firsthand the worst of the illness that plagues our generations. Additionally, we will filter requests for support and need and do what we can to make connections to those reaching out.

You are not alone! Independence Center provides ongoing social, educational, vocational, and housing opportunities in order to fulfill our mission of enhancing the quality of life, promoting independent functioning, and facilitating personal growth for adults with a history of mental illness. Whether diagnosed or not, whether a current member or not, whether you are are supported elsewhere or not...we are here to support you.

For those who are able and willing to aid in this cause, support can be given at HERE by making a monetary donation or providing much needed supplies to staff and Members. We thank you for giving, and honor your compassion in our Mission.
