MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION IN TOMPKINS COUNTY - PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT | MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION IN TOMPKINS COUNTY

This program focuses on psychosocial rehabilitation in a community setting. The goal of ourpsychosocial services is to support individuals in building community, and developing a feeling of group affiliation among peers with shared experiences. Our social drop-in program is an integral part of our psychosocial services, which provides a space for individuals to engage in mutual support together through conversations and activities that promote wellness and connection. With the help of community donation networks, we are also able to support social determinants of health for drop-in guests by providing snacks, beverages, and connections to other resources for meeting material needs. We also offer mutual aid support groups as a part of our psychosocial programming, such as the popular "Pearls of Wisdom" senior support group. Participants must be 18+ years of age and identify as living with amental health challenge.
