Welcome to Tikvah. Welcome to Hope.

The mission of Tikvah is to empower adults living with a mental illness
so that they may feel accomplished, independent, and fulfilled.
We strive to create and support member connections
through social and educational programming.

​Tikvah is a grassroots Jewish organization established by parents and mental health professionals committed to improving the quality of life for adults of all ages with mental illness. Tikvah is a social program aimed at promoting community opportunities. Tikvah focuses on events where members feel safe and have fun in the company of others. Tikvah welcomes and serves people of all faiths.

Socialize. You belong here. You are not alone, get the support you need, right here, right now.

We reduce isolation, increase independence, and provide social opportunities.
