Start a support group for people with mental illness!. My sister started a anxiety support group and has a great turn out at a local library!. She went through the nimh!. (national institute of mental health) Thats one option and she gets a great deal of satisfaction running this support group!. Best of luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
If you live near a mental hospital,,,You could go there just tell them
you would like to visit with them!.
Ask them to clue you in on their behavior and about mental
illness (unless you already have expertise in this area)!
I know some lonesome souls will love the visit!
My suggestion would be to start out with the elderly first!.
(They do not get as many visitors!.!.!.and more mellow!.!.!.I think)!
Just be easy going no matter what their behavior is!
(As long as they are not hurting their self or someone else!
My prayers are with you!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Check with your local hospital!.
I worked in the medical field!. It is very rewarding, but you need to be trained as their needs are so different!.
God bless you for wanting to do this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
