  • Giving

    Because we are all in this together.

Mental illness affects the entire family which is why in order to create real change, we need to engage the community, at all ages.

We believe by sharing stories, having intergenerational conversations informed by medical experts (Habesha of course), we can achieve our vision of transforming our community’s response to mental health from fear and distancing to compassion and support.

Donate today and make a difference in the lives of people in our community challenged by their mental health.
