The Vernon branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association has launched a fundraising campaign to raise $20,000 this holiday season.
Executive director Julia Payson says while the target is not large, the scope is monumental.
She says donations will help local people with mental health challenges, from youth to seniors.
“The past year has been one of growth and strengthening of our programs and services to provide vital support to vulnerable individuals with urgent mental health challenges,” says Payson (pictured). “From grief support sessions for families who have lost children and loved ones to suicide, to weekly peer support for the mom with depression; to the dad, the teen and the grandmother who needed early morning, late night and afternoon words of support from Crisis Line workers, CMHA is here for the many needs within our community. All funds raised stay here in the North Okanagan.”
