The Laurel House:
Founded in 1984, Laurel House has its roots in the “clubhouse” model, a comprehensive self-help approach developed in the era of deinstitutionalization, when thousands of people with serious mental illness found themselves thrust into community settings without adequate income, housing, jobs, education, living skills, and supportive networks. Since then, Laurel House has implemented a variety of mental health programs that offer individuals the opportunity to participate in a supportive community that addresses these needs, while also affording them with opportunities for an improved quality of life, greater self-sufficiency and engagement in their local communities.
More recently, Laurel House has embraced a recovery model of care in our mental health programs to help those affected by mental illness in Connecticut. Utilizing its Resources to Recover approach, Laurel House increasingly emphasizes services that help people reintegrate in their communities with improved skills, health, and confidence.
Salvation Army: "Doing The Most Good." In these four words, our mission - to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care. To rebuild broken homes and broken lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery. In fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit. And, in living and sharing the Christian Gospel by meeting tangible needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our beliefs. The Salvation Army operates 7,546 centers in communities across the United States. These include food distribution, disaster relief, rehabilitation centers, anti-human trafficking efforts, and a wealth of children's programs. Our work is funded through kettle donations, corporate contributions, and the sale of goods donated to our Salvation Army Family Stores. Eighty-two cents of every dollar we spend supports our various missions across the country. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, and contributions are deductible for Federal Income Tax Purposes to the extent permitted under Section 170(b)(2) for corporations.
