SUMMARY:Annual Campaign for 2023
DESCRIPTION:During the pandemic we all experienced a roller coaster of emotions – some more than others.\n\nMHAfred’s staff and volunteers are passionately on the frontline\, working to help each person who reaches out. With your donation\, you are standing in the breach with us.\nA frantic grandmother called HELPLINE after her grandson attempted suicide. However\, days later\, she still could not find a mental health provider taking new clients. We were able to get the needed appointment. We also listened as she shared\, through tears\, her fears and feelings of failure as his guardian – we provided her the support she needed. Many other families are similarly struggling with suicide ideation\, attempts\, and death by suicide\, which is now at epidemic levels among youth 12-18\, according to the CDC. In addition to HELPLINE\, MHAfred offers Support Groups to at-risk teens and Suicide Prevention Education – after presenting at one local high school\, 21 students ask for help. These could be lives saved – and\, as an MHAfred supporter\, you helped. \nSeniors have also been a group at-risk for suicide – that is why the Senior Visitors program was started. \nDepression is not a normal part of aging; everyone deserves happy\, healthy relationships. When you donate\, you partner with MHAfred to ensure that local seniors remain vital community members. Recently\, during the MHAfred annual holiday party for the program\, a senior who has been matched for 19 years with the same volunteer shared how isolated and lonely she was before joining Senior Visitors. Now\, she happily recruits other seniors and volunteers to join the fun. Indeed\, we are making a difference – together. \nI can’t share enough how much we appreciate the support we receive from our community.\n\nI lead a small staff of 5 dedicated people. Over the past year\, they\, and our volunteers\, have risen to the challenge of meeting increased needs. For example\, HELPLINE requests increased by 157% over thirty days\, and we are now offering weekly follow-ups with those on a waitlist. We make the extra effort because everyone – staff\, board members\, and volunteers – believe that no one should navigate a journey for mental wellness alone.\n\n\nRelationships matter. You matter to us.\n\n\nPlease consider donating\, volunteering\, or reaching out if you or someone you know could benefit from our services.\nDONATE NOW!
