Our Focus

We focus our attention on erasing the stigma surrounding mental illness to encourage those who suffer to reach out for help without shame or reservation.



Education

Our weekly webcast entitled “Mental Health Mondays” hosted by Marla and Dave is both entertaining and informative. Our guests share their stories, experiences, and expertise regarding mental health help and awareness.

Health

We are working to change the available insurance coverage for those who need mental health services, for both emergency hospitalization and extended inpatient care.

Community

All our initiatives are designed to serve the community. We are mindful of the continuing need for education and resources for treatment. We will continue to fight to find solutions to assist those who are affected.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!



Our

Programs

These are a few of our most recent programs. Each and every year, we carry out more than 1000 programs across the country, involving people of every age, interest and need.

Eye Exams for Children

Sight is critical for so many everyday functions, from reading the blackboard to playing basketball. We provide free eye exams and subsidized prescription eyewear so no child needs to squint when they look for their future.

After-school Activities

When school is over for the day, not all children have a comfortable environment to come home to. In our after school activity programs we offer a warm place to stay, study, play, eat and relax.

Toy Donation

Some children have more toys than they know what to do with, while others have few good toys to speak of. We strive to matchmake between toyts and youngsters in need with our yearlong toy exchange program.

Animal Therapy

Numerous studies have shown that being with animals helps people overcome learning difficulties, emotional challenges and more. Not every family can have a household pet, so our animal center enables children to enjoy the benefit of having a pet without the cost.

Special Needs

Bringing up a healthy and happy child is particularly challenging for underprivileged families dealing with children who have special needs. We offer daily assistance to these families, in the form of after-school help and other activities.

Free Medical Care

Our medical center is open every day from noon to midnight to receive patients without appointments or referrals. We offer everything from flu shots to X-rays, and have a 24-hour call center for telephone inquiries.
