Spirit Of Gheel

Our Vision

At Spirit of Gheel, Inc., we envision a world where individuals with serious mental illnesses can find healing, recovery, and renewed purpose in their lives. We believe in a holistic approach to care that respects each person's unique strengths and fosters their potential for growth.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide nurturing and compassionate mental health services that empower adults with serious mental illnesses to achieve their full potential. We achieve this through:

• Individualized care: We offer a range of therapies and interventions tailored to each person's needs and goals.
• Compassionate environment: A supportive and empowering community fosters personal growth and well-being.
• Empowerment opportunities: We assist residents in developing life skills necessary for independent living.
• Positive outcomes: We focus on reducing symptoms, increasing stability, and promoting independence.

Our Approach

Traditional mental health facilities often treat symptoms but neglect the underlying causes of mental illness. We believe in a more holistic approach that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of our residents. We:

• Prioritize security and trust: We create a safe and supportive environment based on mutual respect and understanding.
• Embrace empowerment: We partner with residents to identify their strengths and develop their capabilities.
• Focus on strengths: We celebrate individual progress and acknowledge each person's unique journey.
• Promote community involvement: We encourage residents to reconnect with the outside world and contribute to their communities.

• Therapeutic communities: Safe and supportive environments designed for healing and recovery.
• Individual and group therapy: Evidence-based interventions to address specific mental health challenges.
• Creative therapies: Expressive outlets for self-discovery and emotional processing.
• Daily living assistance: Support with daily tasks to enhance independence and self-confidence.
