A few words about us

Since 1986, when FolkTime first opened for business, we have provided socialization services fostering mental health recovery.  We have helped each other battle the  reality of isolation and the stigmatism that often accompanies a mental health diagnosis.  In providing services for over 600 adult men and women, we have placed special emphasis on creating a caring environment that promotes recovery, self-worth and self-sufficiency.

Currently, our services are offered at three locations in the Portland metro area.  The Couch Street program is our main location operating through the generosity of the Community of Christ Church.  Oregon City and Sandy, OR, also offer programs four days per week.  All of the sites are operated by members who are in recovery and have stabilized their condition to the point of accepting a leadership role within FolkTime.   

 

Services

In a friendly and supportive atmosphere, members focus on developing the strengths, talents and skills needed to foster positive mental health, and gain optimum independence in their lives.

FolkTime is a peer community of people in recovery, supported by a small, dedicated board of directors. Volunteers and community support are an integral part of all we do.

FolkTime has always believed in the strength of the human spirit, and the need for friends and a meaningful place in the community as a means for recovery.

FolkTime weaves together community resources (gleaned food, donated supplies, and volunteers) and supports members in their own community outreach and volunteering as a means of regaining their place in community life.
