the Mental Health Chaplaincy provides a companion presence in the city for those living in homelessness, mental illness, addictions and trauma.
Our Strategy
Outreach to our neighbors on the streets who struggle with a major mental illness, trauma and abuse, and chemical dependency.
Spiritual care with persons in hospital and outpatient programs where no other chaplain is available, and support to families seeking care and services for a family member facing a serious mental illness.
Companionship training for chaplains, health workers, clergy, and laity; working with congregations to develop ministries to welcome, serve, and support individuals and their families facing the journey with serious and persistent mental disorders.
Workshops, consulting, and public programs in locations around the U.S. to bring the message of the Chaplaincy and assist others in developing mental illness ministries.
Advocacy and education for readily accessible mental health care that attends to the whole person, including one’s physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being.
