The CAN-DO
mission
is to support local area adults who are recovering from severe mental
illnesses with helpful activities, experiences, advocacy and links to
services on the journey to wellness.
|
Help strengthen people’s feelings of being socially
connected and belonging, hallmarks of good citizenship.
Help
combat the depression, low self-esteem and social withdrawal
that are often aspects of disabling illness.
Our goals are lofty: significant improvement in
participants’ morale, quality of life, and positive
connection to our community. |
CAN-Do programs provide a
unique opportunity for people to meet, support each other, and find
out how to become participating members of the community. Community
volunteers help with advocacy and support including identifying
services to help with life challenges. In its short history, it’s
developed a number of programs and continues to evolve and grow with
plans for other activities as volunteers and capacity grow.

CAN-Do began in 2010 in response to a void created by massive
budget cuts to California public mental health. Volunteers
provide socialization opportunities, activities and outings for
adult Yolo County residents who are recovering from disabling
psychiatric disabilities including schizophrenia, clinical
depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder.
