A 501c3 Mental Health Program for the Underserved

MISSION & PURPOSE

A Mental Health Internet Project

Under the current 5013C Voices of Hope Project, our mission is to help adult and older children residing in the U.S. with mental health problems who have limited or no access to services related to their problems. Problems range from depression, anxiety, addictions, poor coping skills, homelessness, disabilities, job displacement, lack of job skills, and/or lack of childcare limiting employment. A unique website offering paid and free Internet programs will focus on meeting these needs and provide virtual access to qualified professionals and their related services.

WHY MENTAL HEALTH

Mental Health Problems in Underserved Populations Magnified From COVID-19

The impacts of Covid-19 on low-income populations and people of color throughout the U.S. has resulted in a much higher death and morbidity rate, higher rates of depression and suicide, loss of homes, food scarcity, loss of employment, lack of childcare and access to community support, an increase in domestic violence,  and higher drug and alcohol abuse. Through this website, revenues will pay for mental health programs, and related services to qualified vetted and approved applicants.

MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS

Mental Health Programs With Measurable Results for People Who Believe They Can Improve Their Lives
Virtual Programs Bar and Pie Graphs

Virtual programs that educate, empower, inspire, coach, and train adults and older children can bring hope, focus, coping skills, and opportunities to people who feel isolated and hopeless without access to the resources they need. Through baseline and follow-up surveys, we will produce measurable positive changes in underserved approved applicants who want the help and are willing to commit to the program requirements. Programs and services will not be focused on pharmaceutical and crisis interventions.
