Introducing the country’s first health and wellness center with long-term housing solutions for adults living with serious mental illness.

Now imagine a place that can change all of that.

2 Rising Cedar Capital Campaign

Touchstone Mental Health believes that all people living with mental illness — including severe and persistent disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia — have the right to live in safety, with dignity, and healthfully.

Touchstone is undertaking a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind capital and program development initiative which will improve the lives of thousands of Minnesotans living with mental illness. It will combine physical, mental, and social health programming — along with the latest research on neuroscience and the healing power of physical environments — under a single roof to deliver measurable physical, mental, and social well-being outcomes.

The ultimate goal is to change the way mental healthcare is delivered in this country. Imagine that.

Since it was founded in 1982, Touchstone has brought cutting-edge services and programming to Twin Cities’ residents including:

Award winning apartment communities with supportive services.

Integrative holistic therapies across its programs and services.

Nationally recognized “Intentional Communities” that help people build mutually beneficial and enduring relationships.

“�Touchstone�has�been�a�lifesaver�for�me.�I�am�no�more�a�“rolling�stone”�since�Touchstone�came�to�my�rescue�and�gave�me�stability.��They�have�served�as�a�bridge�of�hope�in�that�I�have�begun�to�gain�my�identity�back;�because�without�an�address,�I�was�nobody.�Touchstone�has�enabled�me�to�believe;�to�live�again.”�


Imagine living well with mental illness.In the Twin Cities, approximately 719,000 men and women will struggle with mental illness at some point in their lives— that is one in four adults. 169,000 Twin Cities’ adults live with the challenges of serious mental illness—that is one in seventeen Twin Cities’ community members.

Touchstone supports hundreds of men and women each day so they can improve their quality of life and achieve their dreams.

Improving health and well-being to enhance quality and quantity of life

Throughout its programs, Touchstone implements physical, mental, and social health services to improve overall well-being through fitness programs, nutrition counseling, healing services, and peer socialization groups resulting in reduced incidence of obesity, increased physical activity, and reduced dependence on diabetes medications.

Reducing psychiatric hospitalization

Case management and Care Guide services help 265 men and women each month maintain their mental health, physical health, and social well-being so they remain in the community and out of the hospital. More than 90% of men and women in a Touchstone program for a year or longer have not been hospitalized.

Reducing homelessness

The first barrier to mental health is stable housing. Fifty to seventy percent of Minnesota’s homeless population have a diagnosis of mental illness. Over 90% of men and women in a Touchstone program for a year or longer have maintained stable housing.

Healthy lifestyle options in a health center just for you. The 169,000 men and women living with serious mental illness in the Twin Cities will die, on average, 25 years earlier than the general population due to complications relating to chronic illness. Touchstone’s new Health and Wellness center will:

implement 5,000 individual holistic health assessments and wellness plans to measure the physical, mental, and social health services’ positive impact.

provide a fitness center with individualized instruction and exercise groups.

deliver disease management classes led by instructors who understand the unique medical histories of the participants.

offer a health and wellness resource center to research and learn more about healthy lifestyle options in order to ensure replicability across multiple sectors.

Touchstone Mental Health will begin to address this gap in services with its ground-breaking new Health and Wellness Center.

“�I�am�one�of�Touchstone’s�success�stories.�I�came�from�a�background�of�homelessness.�Touchstone�gave�me�a�place�to�stay�and�responsibilities.�Today�I�live�independently.�I�owe�my�start�again�to�Touchstone,�letting�life�reveal�itself�to�me.”�

Neuroscience meets architecture. The design brings together neuroscience, architecture, and healing design. The result? A building with the capacity to house and heal. Every component of the building’s design correlates to its impact on Touchstone’s Measures of Healing Design. These components are the framework from which the entire facility was designed.

The key measures of Touchstone’s design:

reduCed isolation

Creating social supports

Home-like environment

Promoting community Integration (Seward neighborhood, staff, volunteers, residents, health center members)

nurture senses

Bring nature indoors

Healing landscape design

Art rooted in nature

Client artistic expression

Positive diversions


New health, new hope, new connections.Touchstone’s new center will change how healthcare is delivered for people with mental illness. Touchstone will provide specialized care plans and integrative therapies in an environment that responds to the special needs of clients, helping thousands of people manage chronic disease and prevent early death.

This approach has the potential to save millions of healthcare dollars by reducing hospitalizations and the lifetime cost of care attributed to preventable or poorly controlled chronic disease.

Touchstone’s center will change how customized living services are delivered for persons with mental illness. It will be a safe home with supportive services — and a truly therapeutic living environment for 40 people who are otherwise at high risk for hospitalization, nursing home care, or homelessness.

To create a sustainable foundation for success, stability, and quality of life, people need two things: health and a home. By helping people with mental illness to build this foundation, Touchstone will build their readiness to participate in education, employment, volunteering, and community life.

While improving the lives of Twin Cities residents with mental illness, Touchstone’s new Center will be a place to study how combining of neuroscience and design can improve health and healing — for adults with serious mental illness, and for all of us.

Touchstone needs your help.Join Touchstone Mental Health and its development partner, Project for Pride in Living, as it creates 72,000 square feet of healing space located at 24th Street and Hiawatha on a five-acre site that is part of a greater community redevelopment plan for the Seward Neighborhood. Touchstone’s future home is adjacent to the Franklin Avenue stop of the Hiawatha Light Rail Transit line and is expected to open by the end of 2012.

The 40 permanent housing apartments and 5,000+ member Health and Wellness Center will change how holistic health services are delivered to our community’s most impoverished and most overlooked populations.

The Rising Cedar Campaign will create something truly extraordinary: a new kind of environment where people with mental illness can do more than address their symptoms. Here they will reach for—and achieve—recovery, well-being, and new potential in every aspect of their lives.

To accomplish this, Touchstone is raising $2.5 million of the overall $13.5 million cost for its pioneering new facility and related start-up program expenses.

We invite you to learn more — and to make a generous gift to the Rising Cedar Campaign.
