A Crisis of Connection: Why Your Support for The Healing Connection Matters
The mental health landscape is deeply challenging, especially for our youth. The Healing Connection truly lives up to its nameāit is a vital place for reconnection and profound healing, guided by skilled, compassionate behavioral health experts.
The Urgent Need: Data on Struggle
The struggles of mental illness are not rare; they are a silent epidemic impacting families across our community.
Mental Health Crisis:
Today, roughly 1 in 5 adolescents in the U.S. will experience a severe mental health disorder.
The Reality of Eating Disorders:
Eating disorders have the second-highest mortality rate of any mental illness. An estimated 9% of the U.S. population will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, yet less than 6% of people with eating disorders are medically diagnosed as "underweight." This shows just how easily these deadly illnesses can be missed.
Our Solution: Family-Centered Healing
We don't just treat symptoms; we empower the whole family. Our approach is centered on Family and Community-Based Treatment, providing comprehensive care with a multidisciplinary treatment team approach for individuals (ages 12 and older) struggling with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, and other mental health needs.
As a dedicated nonprofit organization, we are committed to serving all patients who need us.
Your Generosity is Our Lifeline:
This fall, we are honored to celebrate 15 years of service, having assisted thousands of families on their journey to recovery and health. This milestone would not be possible without your belief in our mission.
Your donation is not just a gift; it is the vital thread that sustains our services, allowing us to keep this life-saving connection open.
Please help us continue to turn statistics of despair into stories of profound recovery.
