We are in a mental health crisis across Canada. In London, ON CMHA Thames Valley reported 55,411 crisis calls in 2021, up from 49,725 in 2020, an 11% increase. The number has continued to increase. Currently there is not a mental health facility in London that has a proactive approach to deal with people before they are in crisis.
HELPPS Incorporated retreat center will offer a therapeutically comfortable environment where people can feel safe, valued and treated with respect. Offering both residential and day treatment, the goal is to be able to prevent crisis and provide healing. In other words, helping people before burnout, before families fall apart, before they are unable to work due to mental health issues.
The barrier to treatment is often funding. Funding to build a retreat center and funding to provide treatment. Individuals and families do not have the financial means to cover the cost of services they need so their symptoms escalate and impact all aspects of their lives including their relationships and employment.
You can help mend a broken family and inspire hope by donating today to help build the retreat center. Imagine when one person breaks out of anxiety or depression that causes a ripple affect of healing to those around them so by helping one, you’ll help society become stronger and thrive.
When you donate you become part of our community. You will receive monthly updates about how your money has been utilized to bring healing. We also want to get to know you, so you’ll be invited to our events and activities throughout the year.
