Vision & Mission
Caring Place, Inc. (CP), is a Consumer Run Organization that reaches out to people with severe and persistent mental illness through recreational and educational activities that will help all concerned to become interactive and resourceful. We will attain the goal through group interdependence and training. We emphasize leadership skills. We also hope to incorporate research whenever possible so that we can see where we have come from and where we are going.

Primary Programs and Activities
There was a big Halloween party with many decorations. Member also attended a Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) hosted a meal at a local church on St. Patrick's Day for CP members, and 45 members attended. There was a trip to Topeka with CP members to see the Capitol, as well as a trip to the Sedgwick County Zoo, Eisenhower Museum, and the KS State Fair. Women's night is getting better all the time, as we spend more time in the community. We have brought in a volunteer to teach typing one night a week. Our plans are to expand that program. The Endowment established by the family of Peggy Deitz, earns about $900.00 a year for CP interest, and we applied for a matching grant from Wal-Mart.
