Angela cares for others day and night. Every day she works at a daycare, then at night she cares for her elderly mother. Caring for everyone but herself took its toll on her.
Because of you, Angela was able to get help from a mental health counselor at Catholic Charities when she started feeling overwhelmed.
During her first session with a clinician, Angela shared that she felt anxious and depressed as well as the many stressors in her life. Working with a clinician – generously provided by donors like you – Angela developed a plan to address her symptoms and improve her relationships with friends and family.
Your support makes it possible for people like Angela, who don’t have insurance, to get mental health counseling on a sliding scale fee system. That means they’ll only pay what they can afford – even if that means not paying anything at all.
Because of you, Angela can now care for others – and herself.
“I found myself, and I’m so happy for it,” Angela said.
