To provide mutual support, self-help, advocacy, education, information and referral services for individuals who acknowledge having significant problems in their lives due to mental illness and who are seeking to take  responsibility for their own growth and recovery while supporting each other. We actively advocate for positive change within the traditional mental health system.

Our Mission:

Partnership for Assertive Community Support Services

We provide PACSS services in partnership with Region Ten Community Services Board. Together we provide intensive street outreach and engagement services. We take it to the streets to meet individual needs for treatment, recovery, and support. Persons involved in PACSS services have typically not responded well to traditional supports or interventions and they usually need more intensive services than the center alone provides.  

Our  PACSS staff personally attends to the needs of many. They provide positive social interaction with those who need that extra helping hand; to get food, services, or maybe just a willing ear to listen over a cup of coffee. PACSS is a necessary and vital part of our consumer outreach system.
