Do you have a passion for helping those living with mental illness? Do you feel there is more that can be done to support this population? Do you enjoy teaching by example and encouraging others to complete tasks in a way that reinforces positively? Daybreak may be the job you are looking for.

We provide an environment of support, growth, and encouragement in a family setting. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of our clients by teaching techniques to manage their disability in a supporting and encouraging environment.

We practice gentle yoga & mindfulness meditation as daily programming.

We promote good health & eating habits with support from our own gardens.

We believe that success with completion of a project that one is invested in can be very therapeutic and rewarding.
