Launch Program: provides a structured environment for people living with mental illness who need to learn skills for self-empowered independent living. Group homes provide maximum supervision and apartments give moderate and/or minimum levels of care. Individualized, person-focused services are a key factor, with emphasis on the need for people to take an active role in their social skills training. Recovery principles are incorporated into daily interactions which cultivates an atmosphere of hope, optimism, and respect. Staff is available 24 hours a day to help residents work on personal goals as part of their rehabilitation. Referrals need to be directed through the York County MH/IDD Case Management Unit.

 

Community Hospital Integration Project Program: provides residential services for people living with serious mental illness. They offer supported living, which are community apartment complexes with access to regular on-site staff contact to help with transportation needs, medication monitoring, and daily life skills. They also offer assisted living, which are community living homes that provide residential services to individuals, providing 24/7 access to assisted living counselors.

 

New Beginnings Program: offers structured classes (on a semester-type schedule) on topics like money management, health and hygiene, healthy relationships, arts & crafts, mental and physical wellness. The small group approach gives everyone a chance to participate at whatever level is comfortable while receiving valuable peer connections. New Beginnings groups meet at the main Bell office during regular business hours.

 

Bell’s Rita Patz Liberty Bell Drop-In Center: provides a casual, welcoming atmosphere to socialize and enjoy recreation and leisure time with friends. There is a calendar of activities from which to choose, including bowling, field trips and other outings, but there are no structured classes. Instead, you’ll find table games, billiards, ping-pong, puzzles, and movies available. There is also a full commercial kitchen as well as a lounge area with vending machines. The Liberty Bell Drop In Center is located at the corner of Penn and King streets in York City and is open during daytime and evening hours, and weekends.

 

Bell’s Sendero (Path) Program: specifically for Latinos living with mental illness whose primary language is Spanish. Their bilingual caseworkers conduct the skill building and recreational activities in Spanish, but encourage participants to learn and utilize English in groups. Topics include money management, cooking, art, movie club and community awareness. Sendero meets at the main Bell office.

 

Oasis House: a place where people with a mental health diagnosis come to rebuild their lives and regain what they have lost: employment, education, companionship, connections to their community, and self-respect. Oasis House members are adult men and women who are working within the clubhouse to guide their recovery from the serious mental illnesses they live with everyday. The clubhouse offers people a support network to help cope with mental illness in everyday life. Membership to the clubhouse does not have dues. Oasis House accepts referrals from various sources including York County MH/IDD, hospitals, clinicians, and psychiatrists. We also take self-referrals. Clubhouse membership is open to adults with severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, major mood disorder, and psychotic disorder NOS.
