People Incorporated is the largest community-based mental health provider in Minnesota.

It's our job to make sure that no one falls through the cracks when trying to get supportive, quality mental health and chemical health support.

Whether the barrier to getting help is finances, isolation, or confusion in accessing care, we want to help.

We need you help to fill the gap in mental health care.

Your donations fund a wide variety of programs caring for your neighbors:

  • Charitable care - sometimes, a high deductible or lack of health insurance prevents someone from seeking help when they need it most. This is our largest area of financial need. Your donations allow us to provide care to people who may not have the means to pay for what they need.
  • School-based mental health services - Our children have experienced a lot of hurt, pain, and trauma this past year, and the need for mental health professionals in the school has never been higher. COVID-19, racial violence, social unrest, school closings, isolation, and resulting challenges at home have made it hard for many children to cope. Our providers work collaboratively with children, their parents, teachers, and school staff to make sure each child has the necessary supports and tools to thrive in school and beyond.
  • Street Outreach - This past year, the number of people experiencing homelessness has grown dramatically, creating a crisis in our communities as the number and size of encampments grow. Many resources for individuals were shuttered due to the pandemic, making support much more difficult to find. Our street outreach team is working closely with people experiencing homelessness to provide health and welfare checks, health resources, temporary supports such as tents and sleeping bags, as well as long-term supports like assistance moving into safe shelter, getting identification, applying for safety net programs, receiving counseling, and more.
  • Training Institute - We're training people to respond to your neighbor's mental health needs. Many people working with people experience a mental health crisis have never been trained to handle one, and may not know what to do. We're working with bus drivers, community center employees, librarians, school staff, police officers, and more to provide intensive training on mental health first aid, de-escalation, trauma-informed care, and other critical programming that will provide better supports to people in crisis. We're also adding more trainings to respond to rising demand for educational supports around culturally-sensitive care, equity, and trauma-informed care.

Your gifts make this work possible.

As the world continues to adapt and respond, we know the needs for our supports will not change. Your partnership allows us continue to support people, no matter where they are on their journey to mental wellness.
