     “I feel like I am part of this community and that people care that I am here. If I don’t show up someone will wonder where I am and if I am okay.”

     “I think it’s wonderful. The staff and members are wonderful. The staff are really helpful when I need help. If I didn’t have the Yahara House, I’d probably be out there drinking and going drugs and getting into trouble. And my mental health wouldn’t be doing as well as it is.”

     - Yahara House member Karla K.

 

     “For me it feels like a family when I come here. The connection with people is important to me because I’m so isolated at home. And I know I’m wanted here. There’s work that needs to be done and it feels good when colleagues ask me for my help or for my input. It helps me recognize how much I'm needed.”

     “I look forward to coming into the Yahara House. I feel good about myself when I am here and working at the reception desk. I like being able to talk to anyone who stops by and just have a conversation.”
