“Many thanks again to you and everyone at the Cole Resource Center for your support. You were a true beacon of light during a very difficult time for our family and we will always be appreciative of the support you provided.”
what we do
At the Cole Resource Center, we offer referrals to resources, community, and program opportunities. We value interactive partnership with all in our community as we support each other.
We share hope and a conviction that recovery from mental illness is achievable. All members of our staff have navigated the paths of today’s complex mental healthcare system and its many barriers. We know from our own experience that education and empowerment—of both the individuals themselves and their family members and friends—can yield enormous benefits. (Please note that we are not clinicians.)
CRC focuses on building self-esteem, breaking isolation, making connections, providing hope and guidance, and raising public awareness about mental illness. We work to help individuals and family members gain respect within the community. We strive to reduce both internalized and societal stigma.
Over the last 30 years, the work of the Cole Resource Center has demonstrated that with knowledge and support those living with mental health challenges become more actively engaged in their own recovery, empowered to build healthier lives.
