People Incorporated, the state’s largest nonprofit provider of mental health services, said the home, at 3633 Chicago Ave., will open this fall and provide round-the-clock supervision and care for people who have suffered a mental crisis and require more therapy and other support before returning home. Patients experiencing a range of mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress, will have access to a team of nurses, therapists, and social workers for up to three months.
“Now, as soon as that crisis has stabilized, [patients] can literally walk across the hall to a different room and start their treatment experience,” Jill Wiedemann-West, CEO of People Incorporated, said. “And for a lot of folks, this is very attractive because once you feel safe in a place, it’s hard to get excited about starting something new.”

For 53 years, the nonprofit People Incorporated has provided crisis and intervention services for those in need. Now, they’re embarking on a new journey at the intersection of 36th Street and Chicago Avenue, just steps away from George Floyd Square.
Hennepin Healthcare issued a statement saying, “The purchase by People Incorporated was the outcome we hoped for when we made the difficult decision to close the home in July of last year. People Incorporated is an experienced community provider with values that align with ours. They share our commitment to equity and will continue to make these critical services available to those who need them in that location again beginning this fall.”

People Incorporated is always looking for solutions for people in need of help with mental illness services. It is vital to meet people where they are at and we have been doing this through homeless outreach and through community partnerships. We are grateful to the Medica Foundation for supporting the initiative of embedding a mental health professional in the St. Paul Police Department in 2018 and now with the Roseville Police Department.
Thank you to the Pioneer Press for telling this story!

An album release benefit was held in Minneapolis, bringing attention to the services provided by nonprofit mental health provider People Incorporated. Performing his newest album under the band name Vincent van Beethoven, singer/songwriter Joe Finstrom said the issue of mental health awareness is something he takes very seriously. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2014.
“In trying to find a provider then, which was difficult, People Incorporated was the first organization that had someone available,” said Finstrom. “That was my entryway to providers and kind of got me started on this road I’ve been on.”
Finstrom said he’s volunteered and donated to the group over the years.
Thank you, CCX Media, for highlighting Joe and his music!
