History

Established in 1983.

Jeff Industries, Inc. was established in 1983 as a 501©3 non-​profit organization by a group of parents, and is the result of a grass roots effort. In the mid 1970’s, a young man named Jeff was about to graduate from college when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and committed to the State Mental Hospital. He spent seven years in the hospital prior to being released to his elderly parents. One morning prior to his monthly psychiatric visit, Jeff killed himself. He left a note stating, «I have no reason to wake up». Jeff Industries, Inc. was created to fill a need for meaningful community-​based programs that assisted mentally ill persons in the transition from hospital to the community. This program helped ease these individuals back into the community and gave them «a reason to wake up.»

Over the years, the program has blossomed into a highly regarded, multi-​faceted, vocational training and employment-​oriented rehabilitation center.
