Madi's House is a non-profit that offers struggling young adults a place to fill time, find friends, and feel hope. Here you can gather in an accepting community and participate in meaningful activities as you work on recovery after programmatic care for mental illness or addiction.
The daily grind of managing life with mental health issues and/ or the disease of addiction can get heavy. Madi knew that. She was a young adult who struggled with mental health issues. One of her greatest frustrations was the lack of a safe, comfortable space to gather with others and just hang out. After her suicide the Raleigh family stepped in to create Madi’s House, a homey place to relax where there’s snacks, a couch and usually laughter.
The doors of Madi’s House are open for young adults struggling with mental health issues.
