Recovery happens
in community,
not isolation.
The Carriage House is a welcoming space where adults living with mental illness become members — not patients — and work together to rebuild confidence, find purpose, and reclaim their lives.

"The Carriage House didn't just save my life — they gave me friends, ambition, confidence, and a reason to get out of bed."

OUR APPROACH
A community,
not a clinical program.
Recovery looks different for everyone — but it almost always happens in community. The Carriage House is a place where women and men living with mental illness discover their strengths, build meaningful relationships, and work toward the life they want. We've been doing it in Fort Wayne since 1997, and we'd love for you to be part of it.
