Help Fund Pro Bono Counseling

For 6  years, MHA has been my employer and I am continually awed by the good work being done here - helping people in need and saving lives.

Have you even felt down, discouraged and struggle to get yourself going? We all do. I have. This is part of life and with support, self care and hard work, we find ourselves and our motivations again. This is an ebb and flow of life.

However, please take a moment to consider what it would look like:

• if you did not have a support system
• if you didn't have health coping mechanisms learned from your parents or other care givers
• if negative self talk prevented any form of self care
• if your natural reaction to difficult was insatiable craving for drugs or alcohol.
• if the pandemic shutdown left you alone, afraid and so anxious, you were unable to leave your home

These situations make coping with a difficult morning much more challenging. These situations are symptoms of the brain not functioning well. Just as a kidney not well or a broken bone in need of treatment, so to does the brain need attention. 

Counseling or talk therapy is a simple way to work through struggles and build healthy coping skills. Unfortunately, counseling is not readily available because of lack of insurance or expensive co-pays. MHA offers a Pro Bono Counseling service to those in need.

Thank you in advance for you financial support of this service.
