Dedicating your gift to research: rTMS Therapy Imagine a therapy that offers renewed hope to those facing severe depression, especially individuals who haven’t found relief from other treatments. That’s the potential of accelerated rTMS, a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate brain cells, showing an impressive response rate of 80-90% in just 1-2 weeks. For many, this could be the breakthrough they’ve been waiting for. By dedicating your holiday gift to research, you can help make this life-changing therapy accessible to more people across Alberta. Thanks to innovative partnerships with leaders like Stanford University, we’re advancing these treatments, making each recovery journey more targeted and effective. This season, your support can give renewed hope and empower individuals on their path to healing. Link in bio to join the journey of hope and impact.
