What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Adults with severe and persistent mental illness carry a societal stigma that makes it difficult to obtain effective medications and job training programs, which enable independent living. Many have been hospitalized at least once. Some choose to live on the streets where they find ?acceptance? rather than face the prospect of being re-institutionalized. Far too many find their way into the criminal justice system, most often due to misdemeanors related to their illness. Many individuals with mental illness become involved in drug and/or alcohol abuse; and a high percentage tragically take their own lives. At The Gathering Place, members learn new ways of coping with their illness, often discovering hidden aspirations and talents that give their lives fresh meaning and inspiration. Approaching our 21st year, we are excited about the 12,000 lives we have served through our psychotherapy support systems. Through our Work Structured Day Program, members build their employability through in-house job training and computer classes. Professional staff help members prepare resumes, seek jobs, and maintain employment. The program is modeled after the traditional workday, helping prepare members for employment outside of The Gathering Place. In order to remove any socio-economic barriers to rehabilitation of mental illness, The Gathering Place does not charge any fees for services to members. Our motto is ?Once a member, always a member.? As such, we rely on the support of community leading foundations, corporations, and individuals to continue our programs and services.
