Mission Statement
The power of self is to be emphasized, rather than illness. To empower with peer support and education in a strength based environment.

RAVE drop in center is a safe and comfortable place for people living with mental illness to meet with peers. There are staff peer mentors available at all times to provide support and information to you on recovery. Staff will have contact with everyone to make sure they feel welcomed and understand their responsibilities while visiting RAVE. RAVE offers many opportunities to its visitors. You can simply come in and enjoy a cup of hot coffee and read the newspaper, browse the resource library or use the internet. You have the option of taking part in individual or group art projects, educational opportunities and support groups. We also have games, card and pool tournaments, movies, baking and outdoor activities such as fishing and boating. There is also a low cost meal provided one time per month.

Hours of operation
Monday through Friday — 9:00am—5:00pm
