“I am so proud to partner with Nuçi's Space in providing mental health services to our little corner of the world. It has been the privilege of my life to pour back into the community that helped shape me, both as a clinician and a person. The impact of Nuçi's Space is a testament to the power of turning grief into purpose. The work is fueled by a true spirit of compassion, advocacy, and the belief that everyone deserves the chance to heal. I feel lucky to be a part of something so special and so intrinsically aligned with my values. Thank you, Nuçi's Space, for allowing me the opportunity to sit with, learn from, and bear witness to the resilience of so many incredible people.”

Members of staff with our Free Health Clinic team.
Last year, our Health & Wellness team assisted over 600 clients, helping them access services including low cost or free counseling and talk therapy appointments, psychiatric visits, support groups, and more. Last year, our clients were able to access over 1,600 low-cost or free talk therapy appointments and over 700 psychiatric appointments!
One of the many ways you can help our Health & Wellness program is by donating directly or becoming a Program Sponsor. Your monetary support helps us provide subsidized therapy and other support to the people in our community who need it most, sustaining our life-saving mission. We appreciate our donors and sponsors tremendously; the support they provide enables us to continue our important work year after year. For more information about becoming a Health & Wellness sponsor, please contact sponsor@nuci.org.
One final way to support our Health & Wellness program is by becoming an ambassador of our organization, advocating for our mission out in the community. Nuçi’s Space can only do so much alone. There are many more people out there who could potentially be helped, if only they came through our doors. By equipping our community with the knowledge and steps by which to notice the signs of someone in struggle, and the tools to ask the right questions, we reach more people, faster.
