We offer a safe, supportive environment within the community for individuals who have experienced mental/emotional difficulties. Our mission is to create an atmosphere that is safe, accepting, educational and without stigma. Our goal is to treat each other with mutual respect and kindness. At the center, individuals are able to interact with others who have shared similar experiences, such as hospitalizations, medications, doctors, and therapies.
The Drop-In Center provides resources for individuals to live a productive and independent life within their community. From guest speakers, hands on activities, and store responsibilities, we offer a variety of opportunities for growth and knowledge. A powerful and passionate support system is established to help our members take control of their mental and physical health and well-being.

Services
It's important to us to provide an environment that feels safe & supportive, and our members play a large role in that. Individuals experience a social setting that allows them to spend time with others who share similar experiences. Our groups and meetings allow our members to discuss openly what's happening in their lives, any struggles or victories they'd like to share, and in general spend one on one time with each other.
Every day, members help to prepare a nutritious family-style meal while learning cooking and safety skills. This assists in maintaining stable mental health and independent living. Once a month, Shirley, a dietician from the Michigan State University Extension Office, comes to the center to teach healthy eating and snacking.
