What makes Arch Street Center special?

Arch Street Center is an independent non-profit offering a membership-based day program and social rehabilitation center for adults living with serious mental illness. We provide a safe, caring, and judgment-free space with a focus on socialization, recreation, and empowerment. Many adults with mental health issues find themselves isolated, with few close friends or family to rely on, and at high risk of being neglected or forgotten by the communities in which they live. At Arch Street Center, members can meet with peers, form new friendships, relax, and enjoy themselves without the burden of stigma or other outside pressures.

Our dedicated staff strives to create a welcoming, friendly, and respectful environment. We collaborate with local, state, and private agencies to offer consistent social support and positive human connections, which are essential for overall health and well-being. Since 1983, our main objective has been to support the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—while making the effort to understand each member’s unique needs. We work hard to ensure that Arch Street Center is a place where our members feel they truly belong.

Arch Street Center’s mission is to support the recovery of adults living with serious mental illness.
