Our teams exemplify what the Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disabilities Services department stands for: addressing trauma, achieving equity, and engaging the community. Our services are designed to meet participants where they are in their individual recovery journeys and to foster connections within the community that participants need to take their next steps towards achieving their goals.

Without hesitation, the front-line teams wrote the manual for the City of Philadelphia’s homeless shelter response to the pandemic, they established the City’s first COVID-19 quarantine site for the homeless here inside our Mission, and they relentlessly advocated with the health department until every guest and staff member had access to COVID-19 testing. We did all of this while showing God’s love and being family to those who had none. The pandemic has also provided opportunities for so many of you, our partners, to show transformational generosity. Thank you for loving God in a way that cares for our homeless and hungry brothers and sisters whom you may not have met. We cannot do so without your help! Continue to Support the Mission Thank you for your continued support of the Mission!  Follow us on social to stay up-to-date: Our Mission Sunday Breakfast Rescue Mission exists to minister to the physical and spiritual needs of the homeless and disadvantaged in the Philadelphia area.

The good news is that they can learn to use healthy coping strategies to help build resilience in response to challenging circumstances and events.
