About OMNI

More Than a Place to Gather

For adults living with serious mental illness, isolation can be a significant barrier to recovery.

At Interim, Inc.’s OMNI Resource Center, people find a welcoming community where they can connect with others who understand their experiences, develop new skills, and take an active role in improving their lives.

Through peer-led support groups, wellness activities, art and music, educational assistance, and leadership opportunities, OMNI helps adults build confidence, friendships, and a greater sense of independence.

Reaching People Who Might Otherwise Go Without Support

Located in downtown Salinas, OMNI also serves many adults experiencing homelessness, including those reluctant to seek traditional mental health services. Its welcoming, peer-led environment helps build relationships and trust, creating opportunities to connect people with mental health care, housing resources, and other support.

The Importance of Shared Experience

At OMNI, people who have faced mental health challenges themselves play an important role in supporting others. Their experiences help build understanding, trust, and a sense of community. This belief in the value of peer support extends throughout Interim’s programs, as Thomas’s story illustrates.

He's Been There. Now He's There for Others.

Nearly a decade ago, Thomas was living under a bridge, struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. Through Interim’s housing and recovery programs, he found the support to rebuild his life.

Today, Thomas has stable housing, employment, has reconnected with his family, and helps others on their own paths to recovery.

“I’m giving back to the community.”
— Thomas, Interim Program Participant

His story reflects OMNI’s philosophy: connection, understanding, and opportunities to help others are important parts of recovery.
