Mission Statement

Artreach, Inc. is a nonprofit mental health organization employing the arts, recreation and wellness activities to aid in the recovery and community integration of low-income adults with chronic mental illnesses. Our goals are to:

• Through artistic, cultural, recreational and wellness activities, encourage members to acquire and actively implement into their lives socialization and stress reduction skills necessary to build self confidence and increase the chance of sustaining recovery.
• Challenge the myths and misconceptions that stigmatize people with mental illnesses so that members can successfully integrate into the community.
• Expand the community based recreational opportunities available to people who have persistent mental illnesses to reduce their sense of isolation.
