WAYS WE HELP

Advocacy

Communities need a Mental Health Court and a restorative Diversion Program.

We are advocating with our lawmakers to make this a reality.

Public education

We educate the community to understand mental illness and its effects, encouraging empathy and creating a stronger family support system.

Family Support

Families are suffering too. When one is affected many are affected. We provide access to FREE therapy through Betterhelp and restorative circles to families struggling to support their loved ones.
