Story Matters: Robert Kennedy talks about living life with mental illness
Robert Kennedy shares about how he came to the Heartside neighborhood, what his life is like with a mental illness and what his hopes are for the future.
The Rapidian's Nonprofits section features stories written directly by local nonprofits about their work. These stories reflect their perspectives, not The Rapidian's editorial voice.
Heartside Groups and Counseling
Heartside Ministry offers counseling services and empowerment groups for persons living in the Heartside neighborhood. All services are free of charge—recipients are, therefore, not required to have any health insurance (private, federal or state).
If you are interested in learning more about therapeutic services offered at Heartside Ministry or making an appointment, please contact the ministry during regular operating hours: (616) 235-7211.
We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. The Elevating Voices project is collaborating with 12 local nonprofits through the summer and fall to collect the stories of the voices we don't always hear in mainstream media. This story was captured at Heartside Ministry on September 2.
