What is Heart to Heart?
Heart to Heart is an organization of volunteers that are dedicated to helping people with serious mental illness live fuller, happier lives.

Becoming a Heart to Heart Volunteer
As a Heart to Heart volunteer, you have the opportunity to become a friend to someone with whom you can go shopping, to the library, a movie or to the park for a few hours of trusting companionship each week.

What are the benefits of becoming a Heart to Heart volunteer?
  • Through the simple action of friendship you can help someone,whose illness has limited their options, to lead a more fulfilling life.
  • You will learn about serious mental illnesses and the challenges of the people who live with these disorders.
  • Inspiring people, whose lives may be limited to their participation in their mental health treatment, to become more productive and better integrated into our community.
  • You will discover your own ability to understand and empathize with the needs and problems of others.
  • Discovering the opportunity to be a friend to someone special.
 

Heart to Heart bridges the gap between the community at large and the population of people living with a mental illness by matching trained volunteers with people who are living with these disorders; individuals with a mental illness, who might otherwise find themselves on the outskirts of society, forgotten and lonely. They begin their integration back to society with the help of Heart to Heart volunteers.
