#LetsFaceIt our mission to support the community is only made possible through community support itself.
We are feeling extra grateful this #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth for the amazing donors and supporters of our #LetsFaceIt campaign, helping to support the launch of an arts and wellness program at the Hispanic Health Council’s (HHC) Family Wellness and Cultural Heritage Center in downtown Hartford.
This week we are shouting out a big thank you to…
Last year, MHC participated in Fairfield County Giving Day for the first time, a 24-hour campaign where people can only donate during the campaign hours (12AM – 11:59PM on 2/24). Stamford Health donated a whopping $5,000 to help set us up to reach our goal. Our final tally was $5,015 for individual donations and with the match from Stamford Health, we raised a total of $10,015 to invest in MHC’s Mental Health Concierge services in just 24-hours!
In May, more than 100 landmarks across the nation light up in green, the color of mental health awareness, to mark the beginning of Mental Health Month and encourage the public to learn about their well-being and take a mental health screening.
This year, 2023, will be the second year in a row that Stamford Health has lit up green in support of Mental Health Awareness Month. Thank you Stamford Health for lighting up green two years in a row and for the continued support of a healthier Connecticut!
