We are raising funds for mental health counselor fees, space rental, food, and supplies for 2019 community programming with Steel Smiling PGH.
the steps
Our programming includes: Mental Health Awareness Month Training Blitz, Suicide Prevention Month Forum and Beams to Bridges.
Since launching in 2015, here are some of our highlights:
-
39 hours of free individual and group street therapy conversations provided by a licensed mental health practitioner for 39 community members.
-
Provided 658 community members, mental health practitioners, high school and college students with 55 hours of psycho-education.
-
Provided 134 community members, leaders and educators with Adult and Youth Mental Health First Aid Training Certifications.
-
Referred 65 community members to mental health care providers and practitioners.
why we're doing it
I am very passionate about the opportunity of individuals receiving quality services (especially those that don't have access or can't afford services).
