HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Give the Gift of Mental Health Education this Holiday Season.
To extend our efforts of Proactive Suicide Prevention and teach as many individuals as possible that IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK, we are asking all members of our community to join us for our holiday fundraising campaign, HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS!
It is our goal to raise enough funds to educate 20,000 individuals in 2020.
On #GivingTuesday (December 3, 2019) we raised $27,241. This means we can now educate at least 2,179 more individuals in the upcoming year!
We have a long way to go to reach our goal, but with your support we can beat it!
Educating just 1 individual on how to confront the leading risk factors of suicide BEFORE crisis can make a huge impact towards reducing suicide rates.
1 donation of $12.50 can educate 1 individual in a Hope For The Day Mental Health Education Workshop.
It only takes 1 individual to get educated and confront the highest risk factors of suicide BEFORE crisis.
1 individual can raise their voice to break the silence on mental health stigma & empower others to talk about mental health.
The more we talk about mental health, the more we drive the conversation and teach diverse communities that IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK.
