Program accomplishments

  • MHCAN provides a drop-in peer support center for people in Santa Cruz County with mental health diagnoses. They operated 52 weeks, 4 days per week, including holidays. MHCAN is limited to 50 participants per day by the city. On the vast majority of days, we had 50 people and had to turn even more people away. Most people would come in the morning and stay the entire 6 hours we were open. MHCAN provided individual support, support groups, a computer room, food, showers, and laundry facilities. MHCAN served as a distribution center for the local food bank. We also provided transportation to and from the center for people living in mental health facilities. 75% of those we served between 2022 and 2025 were unhoused. The organization is staffed by people who themselves have psychiatric diagnoses, and in that way it provides work experience to individuals who might struggle to identify employment opportunities due to their symptoms.
