Show Me Hope @ The Clark Center

“Working with the folks you work with, do you ever feel unsafe?” No. I feel safer walking into any Clark Center office than I do walking into Wal-Mart or the movie theater. While it is often believed that individuals with mental illness should be considered dangerous, data suggests the opposite is true. A mentally ill individual is much more likely to be a victim of violent crime than a perpetrator of violence.

“Do the people you treat ever get better?” YES! We have seen depressed, disabled individuals be able to return to work. We have seen once homeless individuals with psychosis be able to maintain adequate housing. We have seen individuals who historically struggled with opiate and alcohol use disorders sustain recovery for years. Of course, we daily see a majority of individuals with much less severe problems improve and thrive. Treatment can work.
