What is Vincent House?

Many of you might be wondering who we are and why we are writing a blog. Vincent House is a nonprofit organization that helps people with severe mental illness get back into the workforce through social and employment training. This blog will show some of the things we do here. It's important to get the word out to as many people as possible. We need to erase the stigma of mental illness by showing everyone that Recovery through Work is possible.

Elliott and Dianne Steele created Vincent House because they didn't see many programs that provided appropriate treatment for people with mental illness. Vincent House is not a drop-in center. Vincent House does not administer medications or provide therapy to its members. Those things are best left to the members' psychiatrists. Instead, Vincent House creates an atmosphere in which people with mental illness can perform duties and tasks that mimic what is done in a traditional workplace. We have three areas of specialization at Vincent House, and we also offer temporary employment as well as supported employment opportunities through our Career and Learning Center. Vincent House members are given the tools to lead productive lives and follow a path to independence. Be ready for updates soon!
