Northern Arizona's consumer operated health agency.
A non-profit 501(C)3 corporation, NAZCARE, Inc., serves people with mental illness throughout Northern Arizona through recovery centers in Bullhead City, Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Prescott, and Show Low.
Consumer-operated services are a cost-effective way to assist persons with serious mental illness to recover and to return to productive, satisfying lives through peer supported services. Peer support does not replace professional services, but provides additional complimentary support services outside traditional mental health agencies.
Our services are designed:
To empower mental health consumers through consumer-operated support, education, and training services; To support consumers in recovery from mental illness; To provide a range of employment opportunities for consumers within the behavioral health system; and to carry on other charitable activities consistent with our vision or mission.

Services are funded through contract with NARBHA and the State of Arizona. Private and foundation support is needed to provide a full continuum of needed services. We operate six centers, two housing projects and provide an array of Employment Training Services. More than 90% of our staff are mental health consumers. More than 25 consumer volunteers assist consumer staff in operating the six centers.
