Mission Statement
“See Spring Mental Wellness Coalition’s mission is to create healthy and supportive safe spaces for all. We do this through peer support and advocacy for our community today and for future generations.”
Who We Are
See Spring was started by a group of Victoria area residents who saw a need for new Mental Health supports. We are learning about the needs of our community and will make programs that work for us.
“Our version of Peer Support consists of ‘being with’. We meet you on a level playing field. We are not wiser or better or trying to fix you. You are your own expert. This is one of the reasons there is no interview process to access our services. When we meet you we are not going to ask you about your medical diagnosis and history. We are not going to ask who your doctors are. We are a group that welcomes anyone willing to help create safe spaces for people with mental wellness issues. We welcome a diversity of opinions and do not pass judgment on people’s choices regarding medication, therapy, and wellness journey as a whole. We offer community and hope. We are here to be with you, that is all.”
Although See Spring cares deeply about the following subjects, we are not service providers for the following;
~ Substance misuse
~ Housing insecurity
~ Employment assistance
~ Government paperwork processors
~ Legal advisers
We recognize that these issues are important to our Community and support other organizations doing this work.

We are currently seeking funding for the following:
