How We're Helping

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide adults with mental disabilities who seek the opportunity to be productive members of society the tools they need to achieve their goals in independence. 

Mental Illness Can Affect Anyone

Mental illnesses can affect persons of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental health disorders are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable. Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by actively participating in an individual treatment plan.  Mental illness is thought to be caused by a combination of biological, psychological, and environmental factors.  

Our Goal

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.
