This year, Welcome Home, our daily drop-in center in Delray Beach, had 3,000 visits from the chronically
mentally ill, an increase of 14 percent from the year before. More than 70 different people availed
themselves of occupational therapy, socialization, encouragement and support. They enjoyed outings to
Lion Country Safari, the Palm Beach Zoo, Morikami Museum and elsewhere. Welcome Home’s visitors
learned how to make friends, apply for work and deal with anger and isolation. In doing so, they proudly
grew in self esteem and independence.
