Our quality score includes items such as evidence of a crisis pan, completing the LOCUS, quality of IRPs and linkage with primary health care.
- REMEMBERING ME - a poem by Shevanda Gates. A Green Door client since 2009, Shevanda has been through it all — homeless at the age of 10, self-medication with illicit drugs and alcohol, incarcerated and abused. Today, Shevanda is on her journey towards recovery, which is best expressed through her poetry. Shevanda shared Remembering Me during Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter's visit to Green Door in September 2011. Read Remembering Me.
Green Door is a community agency that prepares women and men with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses to work and live independently in the District of Columbia.
Green Door is recognized nationally as one of the most successful programs for people with mental illness. Since 1976, Green Door has helped thousands of people with mental illness from St. Elizabeths Hospital, homeless shelters, and community mental health centers to reclaim their lives.
