Welcome to The ASC Charitable Foundation

A Continuation of care

The ASC Charitable Foundation

Supports individuals living with schizophrenia and severe mental illness — providing continued care, creative therapy, vocational support, and long-term stability, long after treatment ends.

What happens after healing?

ASC is more than a clinical treatment facility. It’s a place where healing begins — often after years of suffering, instability, or institutionalization.

But the truth is, even after a client makes remarkable progress, they often leave with nowhere to go, no job, no support, and no long-term plan. For many, the cycle repeats: emergency rooms, streets, institutions… again and again.

We believe they deserve better. That’s why the ASC Charitable Foundation was created — to fund the future our clients deserve: one of dignity, safety, and a real shot at life.

“It was like being punished”

When Sarah arrived at ASC, it felt no different at first. The days were hard, full of resistance and struggle. She didn’t trust anyone. There were moments of substance use and continued withdrawal. But something shifted—slowly, gently—because of what was outside…

We’re ASC. We believe in a better future for people living with mental illness.

Founded by clinicians, social workers, and advocates, ASC Clinical and Residential Services has provided long-term care for people living with schizophrenia and severe mental illness for over 20 years.
Our foundation exists because the system too often stops at stabilization. We exist to go further — to offer long-term recovery pathways through housing, creative expression, vocation, and community.

Together, we can end the revolving door of treatment, homelessness, and institutionalization.

Let’s build a future where healing has no expiration date.

Help us close the gap between treatment and real life.

Your donation provides the bridge between healing and a livable future. Whether you give $25 or $25,000, you’re helping create a more compassionate, effective model for mental health care.
