Programs: Reach program provides mobile psychiatric services to individuals with functional disabilities due to mental illness. Program is individually focused, 1-to-1 in the community, and seeks to assist each participant to meet their specific needs and goals within five domains: self-maintenance, living, education, socialization, and vocation. Participants and their families are linked with appropriate community services and regular functional assessments are conducted to determine progress in programming.

the family support group, started 27 years ago with the inception of nlam, provides resourcing and support to families who have loved ones experiencing mental illness. The group provides opportunities for learning more about local community resources, education, and increasing awareness about mental illness. Families are also able to work together to dispel stigma, participate in personal sharing, and receive encouragement from other attendees and facilitators.

the healing circle program provides personalized family counseling for family members of those dealing with mental illness. All who participate gain understanding, new problem-solving skills, and the ability to identify strengths for dealing with changes in their lives as they navigate their loved one's mental illness.

4 different client support groups meet on a bi-weekly basis, facilitated by a mental health processional. These groups provide opportunities for mutual support, encouragement, prayer and sharing, and education. Each group explores coping skills and current issues in the field of mental health. The speaker's bureau provides community partners, church congregations, and other interested groups with speakers who use education to eliminate fear and break down the stigma surrounding mental illness. These speakers are qualified either through personal experience in recovery from mental illness or professional training, and are regularly available to provide information about mental illness and encouragement to families, communities, and congregations.
