A Place to Belong
What We Do
The mission of The Gathering Place is to
provide a supportive environment for adults with
severe and persistent mental illness, focusing
on strengths rather than limitations, in order to
facilitate life choices and more independent
living.  
How We Can Help
Our psychosocial rehabilitative services help
adults affected by mental illness to integrate
back into the community.  The Gathering Place
provides a safe place for adults with mental
illness to find the support they need through
support groups, computer classes, job skills
building, employment assistance, and
recreational activities.  Membership is always
free of charge, which enables TGP to reach any
qualified adult who needs support and
services.
