The mission of Tikvah is to support adults living with a mental illness in their social, educational, employment, and spiritual development. We support and help educate the families and loved ones of those we serve.
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.
