For nearly 75 years, the Mental Wellness Center has been building hope for individuals and families, providing support in recovery and raising awareness of mental health within the Santa Barbara community.
The Mental Wellness Center provides mental health education to local students, a residential services program which safely provides a home to more than 100 community members across seven residential sites, and serves individuals & families impacted by mental illness through support groups, employment services and social connection programs like the Fellowship Club, an on-site social day club and safe space with resources for those living with mental health challenges.
Mi Vida, Mi Voz (MVMV) is an initiative of Hospice of Santa Barbara focused on collecting information about community resources in five basic categories: Health; Basic Needs (food, financial support, housing, legal); Mental Health; Children & Families; and Seniors. The initial emphasis was health and basic needs information during COVID-19. MVMV ensures the information is bilingual, accurate, and relevant and partners with trusted networks of community leaders to ensure this information is disseminated through methods already utilized by the Spanish-speaking community.
