This is why I do what I do ❤️ Pivotal Help
This is a long overdue share, but there’s no better time to post this testimonial than on Family Day.
One of our past Pivotal Help approved applicants received eight counselling sessions in 2022, and writes that our help with funding these quality sessions with a certified counsellor literally saved her life. This applicant was also part of an accessible psycho-educational group (“Mending Minds”) that Pivotal Help offered from October-December 2022.
There are many outstanding government funded organizations that already exist in our area, but the reality is that many such organizations are under-funded and under-staffed. Some cannot keep up with the demand for their services.
Pivotal Help was formed to bridge the gap.
We rely solely upon grants, business partners, sponsorships, third-party events, community donors, and volunteers.
We would not have to exist if mental health were treated as seriously as physical health is.
Until seeing a counsellor is just as accessible as seeing a doctor or a nurse practitioner, there will always be a never-ending cycle of stigma and lack.
We appreciate all other organizations and are sorry that they do not receive the funding they so desperately need.
We also appreciate this testimonial - it proves that the work we are doing is life-saving.
When one person receives the help that they need, the family unit thrives.
Happy Family Day ❤️
