- Service Goals
The goal of IGBATTMHO is to provide mental
health supports to individuals who have been affected by a persistent mental illness or negative life situation. Using a
Christ-centered, empowerment based model we seek to understand the individual not just as
a person with an illness or problem but as a person with psychological, cultural, and
spiritual strengths that can be utilized in their journey of recovery. Our desire
is:
- 1. To encourage mental health screening, assessment
and referral to services.
- 2. To provide information and resources that will
increase an individuals' ability to advocate for him/herself and to maintain psychiatric
stability.
- 3. To increase awareness of mental illnesses,
symptoms, relapse signs, and available coping strategies.
- 4. To facilitate the development of support networks
that will encourage socialization, decrease feelings of isolation, and assist individuals
with integration into family, social, and community activities.
- 5. To raise the level of awareness concerning mental
illness within the target population and to contribute to the number of people who seek
help for mental health concerns.
- 6. To provide comprehensive mental health
interventions to all members of society
