Mental Health Resources

 This year marks the 5 year anniversary of our commercial kitchen renovation project at the CSP.  In honor of that, all funds donated will go towards the purchase of food to provide meals to our members.

The CSP continues to be open to members 4 days each week, offering the opportunity to build relationships, participate in group activities and provide a meal each day to all attendees. Each day the CSP is open it hosts approximately 45 members from the community who are living with serious and persistent mental illness. About 15% of members we serve at any given time are homeless, and nearly all of our members and visitors face food insecurity due to limited income and resources. The nutrition services offered provide a welcoming and health-promoting atmosphere at the Seward CSP.  Additionally, the meal we serve tends to be the healthiest meal people eat in a day, again, due to poverty and limited resources.

Once each month, members together with CSP staff prepare a festive dinner in the CSP’s kitchen attracting a large number of attendees. There are also Cooking Demos that teach members how to prepare a new recipe with affordable ingredients. Members then share this food together afterwards and take home a copy of the recipe.  Having reliable and healthy food is the foundation of better mental and physical health through nutrition for our 350 members. When members prepare and share food in the CSP communal kitchen, they meet a fundamental human need for both healthy food and positive human interactions.  The CSP would not be the same place without the daily meals and snacks it provides to people who are hungry for both a meal and for companionship.

Help us continue to provide this service by donating today! 

The mission of Mental Health Resources is to foster hope, health and recovery for people affected by mental illness and substance use disorder.
