Mental Health Matters

At every stage of life, mental wellness affects how you think, feel and act. We often neglect our mental health needs as they may seem less serious than physical issues. But addressing mental and emotional health can lead to a more productive, fulfilling life—and ultimately, allow us to make more meaningful contributions to our community!

A Place to Call Home

Mental wellness starts with safe, stable housing and shelter. If you don’t have a place to call “home,” how can you be expected to improve other aspects of your life?

For those who find themselves without this basic need for shelter fully met—there’s never any shame in seeking help!

There are plenty of local resources to help the people of Joplin get back on solid ground, including emergency shelters, transitional housing programs and long-term housing assistance.
