Dear Friends,

Thank you for all you do to support Heart and Soul, and our work creating connection, hope, and healing through Peer Support for mental health.  We are so proud of what we have achieved together.  The impact of the COVID pandemic has been challenging for everyone, but it has been particularly hard for those facing mental health issues.

​

Since the onset of the Pandemic, we have cultivated and nurtured a virtual online community brimming with wellness groups, one-on-one peer-to-peer engagements, a warm line, and online activities where participants can jump into a supportive community. We have distributed technology and are conscientiously closing the digital divide for those we serve. Now Zoom is not just a way to get somewhere fast...it’s a space to find camaraderie, comfort, and compassionate support.

 

Fortunately, with your help we've done our job to equip our community with a variety of online check-in and wellness activities including:

• Total Wellness Club

• Mindful Movement classes

• 24/7 Peer Warm Line

• COVID-19 Resource Guide

• Compassionate Community Conversations on Race and Allyship

 

At the same time, we have continued to deliver our pioneering HOPE program, which helps those emerging from long term inpatient psychiatric care to successfully reintegrate into the community. 

​

We’ve continued our Seeing Through Stigma campaign, which breaks down stereotypes and misconceptions through speaker panels with lived experience of mental health challenges, who share openly about their struggles, overcoming obstacles, and the arc of their recovery journeys. Now through Zoom, Seeing Through Stigma brings this profound experience to first responders, other caregivers, and community groups.

 

Together, we are working toward a world of acceptance, inclusion, and dignity for those striving toward self-defined mental wellness.

 

If our mission and the work we do speak to you, we need your financial contribution. Now more than ever, your support is incredibly important and greatly appreciated. Your donation will ensure that we can continue to provide critical services to a community especially hard hit by the impact of the Pandemic. 

​

With your generosity, we can continue to be there for those in need. 

Become a Heart and Soul donor for a reason, a season, or a lifetime!
