Paradise Center
 is a consumer-run, peer support community center for adults with severe and persistent mental illness.
Paradise Center empowers people with mental illness to lead active lives in the community by providing a safe, supportive environment with opportunities for personal growth through meaningful activities and interactions with others.
Paradise Center is different from other self-help support groups in that it functions
as a community center, with opportunities for social and recreational activity as
part of the supportive atmosphere. Paradise Center meets a need that professional
mental health services are unable to provide. Empathy, camaraderie, and acceptance
are formally and informally offered by consumers in groups, meetings, and daily
social activities.
The members help each other to integrate into the community through involvement
in outings and other community events. Most members, because of the chronic nature
of their illnesses, have experienced impairments in social functioning and have
a need for more friends. Most of its members would be isolated and without friends
or support without the opportunities that Paradise Center offers. |
