If it’s a crisis to you, we feel it, too.

In moments of crisis, we all need a safe space where we can seek comfort and guidance. Where we can feel heard and validated. Where we’ll be met with compassion, not judgment. And that’s where Common Ground comes in. Whether you’re dealing with a mental health emergency, need counseling or emergency shelter, or just need someone to talk to, we offer confidential crisis support, 24/7.

Strategic plan

Every three or four years, Common Ground writes a strategic plan to provide direction and focus for the agency. This iteration focuses on four strategic “pillars.” These are key areas we believe Common Ground must focus on to be successful in the years ahead. The pillars we identified were:

  • Invest in our people
  • Ensure diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Leverage business intelligence
  • Maximize process excellence
  • Support growth
  • Create an economic engine
