The Mental Illness Recovery Center, Inc. (“Mirci”), a leading mental health nonprofit dedicated to addressing mental illness and housing instability in Columbia, is proud to announce the consolidation of its facilities under one roof at 2750 Laurel Street, Columbia, SC 29204.

It is our hope that this space will provide comfort, hope, information, and inclusion both for the patients and service providers.”
