Agency Details:

ICAN in Lancaster, Inc.

The primary purpose of this corporation is to improve the quality of care for all Lancaster County consumers of mental health services by aiding in the development of a voluntary consumer self-help movement.

Description:
ICAN is a 100% consumer-run, voluntary mental health drop-in center. The board of directors, staff, and all members are people who receive or have received mental health services. ICAN provides social services to people with a history of mental illness who live in Lancaster County. Board members are elected through democratic elections and staff are hired by the board of directors.
The drop-in center is open Monday-Friday from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM and Saturdays from 1:00 - 5:00 PM. On Saturday nights we have a Coffee House from 7:00 - 11:00 PM. We also move people who live in Lancaster County who have a mental illness (within the county).
At the drop-in center members may use a variety of services that they may not have in their own homes, such as cable TV, a telephone, the newspaper, a washer and dryer, and a kitchen. Staff, who are also mental health consumers, are available to provide peer support and advocacy.
