Creating a stable foundation, so you can build your dreams.

When we first opened our doors in 1958, we operated under the philosophy that every person deserves a life where the sky’s the limit. And over the past 60 years, we’ve worked diligently to ensure the people we support are able to choose and achieve what is important to them.

Our Story

Monarch At a Glance

Helping people realize the resilience that’s within them.

Real-life stories, from real-life people.

Monarch provides high-quality care and services in a nurturing environment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illness and substance use disorders statewide. And recently, we opened the SECU Youth Crisis Center, a Monarch program in Charlotte, which provides mental health care to children and teens. The future never looked brighter.

Our Services

Let’s make a difference.

Since 1958, Monarch has been a statewide provider of comprehensive specialty mental health and human services.

And as one of North Carolina’s largest not-for-profits, we take pride in offering quality care for people with mental illness, substance use disorders and intellectual and developmental disabilities.
