Overview of Services

The Harold D. Thomas Foundation is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals and families affected by schizophrenia and related mental illnesses. Inspired by the creative spirit and compassion of Harold D. Thomas, our foundation offers a comprehensive range of services designed to promote understanding, connection, and hope in our community.

Promoting Creativity and Avid Reading
We believe in the transformative power of the arts and literature. Through workshops, creative writing groups, book clubs, and reading initiatives, we encourage individuals of all ages—especially those impacted by mental illness—to find their voice, express themselves, and discover joy in learning. We continue Harold’s legacy by fostering a love of reading in youth and adults alike.

Support Groups for Caregivers and Loved Ones
We provide specialized support groups for caregivers, children, parents, siblings, and friends of individuals living with schizophrenia. These groups offer a safe, understanding space to share experiences, access resources, and find emotional support from others who truly understand the journey.

Innovative Housing Community
Our foundation is committed to developing unique, supportive housing communities designed specifically for adults living with schizophrenia. These communities provide stability, dignity, and personalized care, empowering residents to lead fulfilling and independent lives.

Community Outreach and Education
We engage in ongoing outreach to raise awareness about schizophrenia and mental health, reduce stigma, and build a more inclusive society. Our educational programs, public events, and partnerships with local organizations strive to create a better understanding and compassion throughout the community.

Commitment to Research
The Harold D. Thomas Foundation is dedicated to advancing research for better treatments and, ultimately, cures for schizophrenia—particularly paranoid schizophrenia—and other mental illnesses. We also invest in research to identify and share best practices and approaches for supporting the emotional, social, and cognitive development of individuals living with these conditions. By collaborating with leading research institutions and advocating for innovative care, we aim to ensure that caregivers and professionals are equipped with the latest knowledge and tools to help individuals thrive.

At the Harold D. Thomas Foundation, we are a beacon of hope, creativity, support, and scientific progress—empowering individuals, families, and communities to thrive.
