HEALTH & WELLNESS
For Day 7 of our 12 Days of Giving Campaign, we are highlighting the many services and supports that our Health & Wellness team offers, and the many ways you can support our Health & Wellness program!
Last year, our Health & Wellness provided support for 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.
Throwing it back to what we shared yesterday, one of the many ways you can help our Health & Wellness program is by donating directly (nuci.org/donate) or becoming a program sponsor. For more information about becoming a Health & Wellness sponsor, please contact sponsor@nuci,org. 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.
Another way to support our Health & Wellness program is by becoming an ambassador of our organization and advocate for our mission out in the community. Nuçi’s Space alone can only do so much to prevent suicide; not only are time and money finite resources, but we are only able to assist those whom we come into contact with. When there are so many 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 and tools to ask the right questions, they can then use those skills with their own colleagues and loved ones, reaching more people, faster.
Here are a few ways you can help us help others:
Refer people to our support groups or counseling assistance services;
Get certified in QPR Suicide Prevention and act as a life raft for your network;
Connect us with a provider that you think may be interested in working 1:1 with our clients.
