Help support mental health!

I am a student at Monroe Community College in the process of completing my final semester and I will be graduating with a degree in Event Planning.  My Advanced Conference and Event Planning class was working towards planning a fundraising event before the world began feeling the impacts of the current pandemic, forcing its eventual cancellation.  As a result, we have been provided this opportunity to pick an organization that supports something we believe in and raise money for their cause.  I am choosing to fundraise for the Child Mind Institute as mental health is very important to me personally, and the modern world during this time of uncertainty.

Everyone is struggling with something and we all had personal issues to address before COVID-19 flipped our lives upside down, changing our world as we know it.  We are all stuck inside trapped with only our own thoughts, and that can have a great impact on our deteriorating mental health.  It’s important that we all get through this and remain mentally and physically healthy.  Yet, we all must assume the role of parents; parents have more than just themselves to worry about and we need to make sure everyone is taken care of because we’re all in this together. 

Donating to the Child Mind Institute will facilitate the further research for better treatments, expand education/outreach programs, and provide scholarships to families such that they can receive high-quality clinical care.

We have to stay strong and help each other get through this, together.
