Kandu Island is a Drop-In Center for those who have experienced mental health problems. It is a nonprofit consumer-run program which offers a safe haven for people to go and experience life free from stigma, where people can help each other by sharing their knowledge and networking as they travel the road to recovery.
It’s a place to go, a place to be. One is able to relax, enjoy, and just experience. You can play pool or watch a little TV. We even have sewing machines and crafts. Computers are available to check your e-mail or to look for a job. There are laundry facilities available if you need to wash clothes. Kandu Island is also home to the Third Meal Pantry.
All are welcome in this place!
