A big thank you to a local high school student, Samantha Steron, and for holding a fundraiser for The Healing Connection! Donations from this fundraiser will help us continue to provide vital mental health services to our community.

Samantha told us that she felt inspired to hold this fundraiser based on past experience and seeing a need in the Rochester community:

"As a senior at Mercy we are given the opportunity to do a capstone project in relation to the Critical Concerns of Mercy. As someone who has experienced an Eating Disorder and received treatment from the Healing Connection, it was a given that I focused my project on Eating Disorders, specifically in Women. I have done research about different treatments and something that really stood out to me was the cost of treatment. When doing my fundraiser, I was certain that I wanted to work with the Healing Connection to help provide access to care."

This time of year can be challenging for many.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, around 5% of adults in the U.S. experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and between 10-20% may experience some milder winter blues.

The most important thing to remember is to show yourself kindness this winter, allow yourself to rest, recharge and find ways to feel more comfort during this season.

If you are experiencing persistent feelings of depression or anxiety and are interested in getting connected with a therapist, call 585-641-0281 to learn more about The Healing Connection outpatient therapy services.

While normalizing eating patterns and getting to a healthy weight are important parts of eating disorder recovery, there is a lot more that goes into it!

Recovery also involves working on repairing your relationship with food, your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. It involves identifying your value outside of your weight and appearance as well as addressing the core issue or trauma that may have been previously masked by eating disorder behaviors.

When we feel anxious or overwhelmed, this often impacts our breathing. We may find ourselves taking quick or shallow breaths.

Deep breathing won't necessarily fix what's caused our stress in the first place, but it can help us feel more emotional regulated. Before we decide what to do next in a stressful situation, it's important to find ways to regulate so that we feel calmer and capable to problem-solve.

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 name—it 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.
