YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT:  Arch Street Center

Arch Street Center is an independent non-profit offering a membership-based day program for adults living with serious mental illness. They provide a safe, caring, and judgment-free space with a focus on socialization, recreation, and empowerment. Many adults with mental health issues find themselves isolated, with few close friends or family to rely on, and at a high risk of being neglected or forgotten by the communities in which they live. At Arch Street Center members can meet with peers, form new friendships, relax, and enjoy themselves without the burden of stigma or other outside pressures. Their dedicated staff strives to create a welcoming, friendly, and respectful environment. Since 1983, their main objective has been to support the entire person, body, mind, and spirit, and to make the effort to understand each and every member’s unique, individual needs.
