ABOUT US

Ever since I can remember, I wanted to die. Mental illness and depression have been with me my whole life. I thank God for Spiritus Christi Mental Health Center. I know that as a result of this program I am here today and not dead or really messed up. I’m in more control of my life.  - Phyllis

We believe everyone should have access to mental health care and support regardless of their insurance status or income. Our volunteer staff of therapists, social workers, advocates and wellness practitioners helps people get the care they need to live safe, healthy, less stressful lives. 

 

Services Provided:

 

  • Psychotherapy – to treat mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and to combat the effects of trauma, abuse, social isolation and poverty

  • Family therapy – to help improve communication, solve problems, and to understand and handle special family situations (for example, death or serious physical or mental illness)

  • Group therapy – to address areas of concern for our clients. Groups are started based on demand and availability of a volunteer clinician

  • Psychiatric collaboration and referral – to connect clients with area prescribers of psychotropic medications, and to collaborate with their providers as needed to ensure they receive the best care possible

  • Case management/advocacy –  to assist with obtaining health care and housing, expanding circle of support, specialist care, budgeting, and navigating application processes for employment or for financial, vocational or educational assistance

  • Peer support meetings – to support families and individuals struggling with mental illness, poverty, abuse, crime, loss and other issues

64% of our funding comes from individuals, churches and local businesses. Individuals give directly to the Center, through United Way's donor designation program, or through the State Employees Federated Appeal (SEFA).

 

In addition, we receive grants from private foundations and support from local churches, banks and businesses. We also receive over $80,000 of in-kind goods and services annually.

 

This amazing generosity helps to make mental health care available at no cost to those in need!
