Bridging the Gap - Navigating Homelessness and Mental Health

Research reveals that a significant portion of those experiencing homelessness also live with severe mental health conditions. Approximately 25% face challenges such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. 


Living without stable housing amplifies existing mental health challenges and introduces new hurdles. Accessibility to consistent mental health care becomes an obstacle, hindering recovery and perpetuating the cycle of homelessness. 


MCCH approaches everyone we serve with the understanding that homelessness and mental health challenges are linked. Direct care team members utilize trauma-informed care to ensure we are not harming people with the help we provide. We are committed to providing assistance that breaks down barriers and understands, supports, and uplifts every individual on their journey to stability.

Wellness Workshops at Nebel Street Shelter

MCCH is grateful for an emerging partnership with Montgomery County's Office of Prevention and Harm Reduction. Their team is working with our onsite staff to offer a series of workshops at Nebel Street Men's Emergency Shelter focusing on wellness and including harm reduction information and supplies. Their community nurse Yvonne will come each Wednesday, starting February 28, and be joined by MCCH's Peer Support Specialist.
