We at Abounding Grace Ministries reaffirm our commitment to creating a safe and loving community for people living with mental illness. In our family, no one should suffer in silence, hiding in the shadows, stigmatized by their condition.
Mental illness is real, as real as diabetes or cancer or any other medical condition. There is no shame in receiving treatment, only admiration for the courage treatment requires, and a commitment to stand with our brothers and sisters as we endure together.
Abounding Grace remains a grace filled and safe space for people to find help. We know from decades of experience that people suffer in isolation, but heal in community. If you need to speak with someone, please visit our office or schedule an appointment with one of our pastors or chaplains.
If you are in crisis and need to speak with someone immediately, please call 888-NYC-WELL or text “WELL” to 65173.
