What is Tikvah?

Tikvah is a grassroots non-profit organization established in 1990 by concerned parents and mental health professionals committed to improving the quality of life for adult individuals living with mental illness. Tikvah began as a forum where families could learn to cope with mental illness both positively and purposefully.

Today, Tikvah’s mission is to reduce isolation, increase independence, provide educational opportunities, enhance community connections, and promote recovery for individuals. Since its inception, countless men and women have found a loving and warm environment through the organization’s social programs.

Tikvah’s membership includes a growing number of people who are without formal or informal community supports. The organization’s membership includes members of all faiths and backgrounds living with a mental illness who are drawn to the organization because it provides a social and support network that is unique to the area.

At Tikvah, we organize events that provide a safe environment to socialize and make friends without the fear of being judged. We touch the mind, body and heart of those we serve while integrating our deep compassion with highly effective programming.
