Community Outreach
Just as diabetes is a disorder of the pancreas, mental illnesses are medical conditions that often result in a diminished capacity for coping with the ordinary demands of life. Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder. MiCasaCorp.org is the link between institutionalized care and the community. The good news about mental illness is that stability is possible.
Mental illnesses can affect people of any age, race, religion, or income. Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character, or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable. The difference between Mi Casa Es Su Casa (MCESU) and others in the industry is that we believe that there are no expendable people.
Since the 1960’s, the “deinstitutionalization” of mental hospitals sought to put mental healthcare into the community. Over the past 40 years a vacuum has been created and the mentally disabled have suffered homelessness, addiction, sexual abuse, instability, human trafficking and the list goes on.
