Adults with mental illness often complain that the symptoms of their illness prevent them from living a normal life. The symptoms they experience become roadblocks in completing school, holding down jobs and having meaningful relationships. Their symptoms can make them feel misunderstood and often hopeless of ever living independently. The world around them can be harsh as the stigma of their illness seems to be following them around every corner.

Finding the right medication or doctor for their individual needs can seem impossible.

Life does not have to be this way. Clients and family members need to be educated about this illness and the awesome recovery that is available to them.

Pine Tree Gardens merged with Turning Point Community Programs in 2007.

Turning Point Community Programs has offered a path to mental health since 1976. We provide psychiatric services, support and advocacy for people working to overcome the effects of mental illness in Sacramento, Stanislaus, Merced, Yolo, Placer and Nevada County.

Pine Tree Gardens is a progressive non-profit organization offering out-patient and residential treatment for adults living with mental illness.

"Change the way you think about mental illness. Change the way others think about mental illness by changing your life for the better."
