Hello
Healing is Possible Today
Karis Community offers a community-oriented residential program for adults managing serious and persistent mental illness as well as co-occurring substance use disorders. The Empowerment Program prepares individuals to re-engage productively in the larger community, reduce hospitalizations, and live independently. Our mission is to provide a community where people heal together.Â
Join Us!
Join us in celebrating 49 years of hope and healing at Karis Community’s Annual Spring Fundraiser! This special event is not just a fundraiser, but a joyous celebration of Karis’ birthday. It will take place on Thursday, May 15, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Punch Bowl Social Denver. All proceeds will support our Empowerment Program.Â

Karis is the first place I have lived where I not only feel comfortable but do so while improving my mental and physical health. I feel seen by the staff and fellow residents. I have already made great friendships in the half a year that I have been here, and I know I will make more as I continue to stay and work on myself. – Karis Community Member
