TOUCHSTONE MENTAL HEALTH

Touchstone Mental Health is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit center of excellence with a 28-year heritage of serving adults with serious and persistent mental illness (e.g. major depression, bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia etc.) by working with each person to meet their specific needs and cultivating communities of holistic wellness to ensure everyone can lead a life full of opportunity.

We provide mental health services, housing support, and counseling to hundreds of men and women living with major depression, bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia and other illnesses so they can avoid hospitalization, maintain stable housing, build supportive relationships and make educated decisions to maximize their health, well-being and independence.

How?

We have a team of therapists, counselors, social workers, nurses, psychiatrist and healing arts practitioners who support our 580+ clients, residents and community members. They educate and support each program participant so they can obtain the highest quality of life possible. Staff help each person manage their mental illness symptoms and physical health needs while ensuring their housing, transportation and food needs are also being met.

Why?

Every person deserves to live a life with hope. Individuals who live with mental illness have an increased likelihood of experiencing homelessness, heart disease and diabetes, frequent hospitalization, long periods of isolation and a lack of primary health care access all which contribute to a shortened life expectancy of only 58 years.

By having a trusted, consistently present, and safe guide helping an individual understand and address their mental health, physical needs and social well-being; we increase life expectancy, enhance opportunities for friendship and community integration while reducing homelessness, ER usage and hospitalizations.
