Northside Community Support Program

The Northside Community Support Program (NCSP) helps adults overcome the challenges of mental illness, trauma, COVID, and more. As a free, membership-based program, NCSP’s goal is to make sure people have access to community-based services, therapy, or sometimes just a friendly ear. NSCP staff works closely with many local community partners to ensure people can connect to emergency food, employment supports, legal assistance, and more. NCSP members develop long-term relationships with staff and other members, renewing their sense of dignity and hope through this support. 

NSCP welcomes any adult resident (18+) of Hennepin County who is living with a mental illness, trauma, and other challenges. Many members also experience substance abuse or have other co-existing disorders. NCSP frequently assists with the immediate needs of at-risk individuals.

Referrals and the program’s drop-in hours are Monday-Thursday, 10 am – 3 pm. Capacity is limited due to COVID-19 restrictions.
