What We Do

The Kettle Society's mission is to enhance the quality of life for individuals living with mental illness.

We do this by providing advocacy, housing, employment and community services; offering opportunities to gather and access compassionate assistance; supporting recovery for those living with mental illness; promoting mental health in the community; and promoting inclusion of individuals living with mental illness in all aspects of society.

“The Kettle has made me feel I am worth something. It’s my sanctuary from drugs and alcohol.
