APOLLO Resource Center is a member-driven, community based program offering adults who have mental illness a safe place to learn the skills and focus on recovery. APOLLO (A Place of Learning Life Opportunities) offers a welcoming and non-judgmental environment for growth. Independent Living Skills (ILS) and Adult Mental Health Rehabilitation Services (ARMHS), which are goal-directed and individualized, are offered.
Who we serve
We serve adults (18+) with a mental illness. Certain segments of the program are open only to individuals who live in Ramsey and Washington County; ARMHS services are available to several other counties in the Metro area. (Call us to verify.) No referral is necessary for the APOLLO Resource Center. One segment of the program offers culturally and linguistically- accessible skills development services for adults who are members of the Hmong community and who are experiencing mental health concerns.
