Mental Health Support in the Upstate

We have been working with Matt to gain his trust and make him feel safe when he visits us. He is homeless, lives in the woods alone, and suffers from auditory hallucinations. We have provided him ongoing support with food, clothing, sleeping bag, and shower/hygiene items for about a year. We have also gotten him approved for SNAP, a free phone, and have assisted him with medical referrals as he is convinced the voices he hears are a physical ailment and not a mental one. Through this establishment of trust we were able to facilitate his first meeting with Greenville Mental Health to start that conversation and it went well! He even noted that he would be open to meeting with them again. We are hoping this is a step forward in helping him.
