Here at Hearts for the Homeless, we strive to help our patients get back on their feet by treating any mental or physical disabilities they may be struggling with. We try to improve the mental state of any one who comes to us and help them restore a solid ground in order to gain productivity and efficiency back to the path of an improved lifestyle.
Goals:
- To restore health and well-being by providing nutritious foods and treatment for injuries they are currently suffering from. As well as educating them about self-care in order for them to fully recover.
- To permanently recover from mental illness by providing 24hr counseling and taking part in group activities that promote productivity and good social skills.
- Help them permanently move off the streets by helping them build communication skills in order to find a job to sustain themselves.
- To help them build creativity and find hobbies that they truly enjoy.
- To help them build healthy and close friendships by putting them in activities where they can communicate with other patients trying to recover. As well as encouraging them to volunteer and explore the nature around them.
