Gateway Center’s Post

Most people are stunned about what the Youville Centre - Ottawa does to support young moms and families. As a proud board member, I invite you to learn more about the organization, which helps young moms attend school, get mental health support, all while their child is in day care…in the same building! Even better, learn about ways to give and support multiple generations at once. https://lnkd.in/emrpvjNi #momssupportingmoms #moms

It’s Giving Tuesday!!!!!! Today I’m giving back to the The Bridge to Recovery because of the life saving therapy and tools they are sharing with the world. 50% of our clients need financial assistance in getting to The Bridge. You can help us fill that gap by giving today. There is an addiction and mental health crisis in our world right now and you can be a part of helping people find freedom from addiction and generational trauma! https://lnkd.in/gMGpSwQ5

Today is officially #NationalCallAFriendDay. This day is typically reserved for reconnecting with someone you have lost touch with or someone you miss dearly. These are fantastic reasons to pick up the phone. However, there is another population of individuals who will benefit greatly from hearing your voice today. Did you know that about 1 in 4 American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, and one in 10 will suffer from a depressive illness? Mental health crises account for more than 60 million visits to primary care and 6 million ER visits annually. Will we continue to let these individuals go unnoticed? Pick up the phone today. Someone in your life is out there feeling alone. Someone is feeling incapable of overcoming their grief. It is highly unlikely this person will call you, but it is incredibly likely that the sound of your voice will change the outlook on their day. And, for these individuals, who are often living one day at a time, your call might be the difference maker they didn't know they needed. From all of us at the Honor Movement Foundation, we encourage you heed to the warning signs of those who might be in trouble. Your compassion will go a long way, but your words and the sound of your voice might just be exactly what they need today. https://lnkd.in/eHnAcAfp

If you have any question you would like to ask about mental health and suicide, what would that question be? We are building a survey that we will put out to the public to compare answers and see how close we are with our answers. We will be releasing the survey on Friday January 5th on the webpage: https://lnkd.in/dyG2Fc8s This will be a survey we ask that you take your time and really consider your answers. You do not have to answer all the questions and we will not share any of your information with others without your permission. We will not call anyone out for any answer but we will not share any statements that are hurtful or hateful. This is a survey for the purpose of assistance of those battling with mental issues and suicide ideation. This is a research and knowledge searching tool to share with others in efforts to find answers. There is no one answer. If there was, we would not have this problem. Not every question will be published, but we will consider every entry. Please help us make a difference by asking well thought out, educated, un-biased questions and let's "Come Together" to find answers to this problem affecting everyone.
