We believe recovery is possible.
We are a nonprofit organization made up of consumers of mental health services, family members and other persons interested in mental health issues and concerns.

We're the Wayne & Holmes Counties affiliate for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI); we're the local chapter of the Depression Bipolar Support Association (DBSA); and the Suicide Prevention Coalition is one of our committees.
