ABOUT WELL COMMUNITY

For those living with chronic and severe mental illnesses, isolation, rejection and stigma are common experiences. That's why the “community” aspect of the Well—that sense of being a part of a group that is accepting and welcoming—is the best resource we provide. Sharing day-to-day life with others and having caring friends who listen, pray and encourage is a foundational aspect of mental health stability. People at the Well Community are members of a uniquely supportive and inclusive environment. Staff, volunteers, interns and members offer authentic friendships with understanding and compassion.
