As relates to my last post about charitable giving, as a mental health counselor, I am well aware of the importance of direct involvement in making a real difference. While monetary donations are certainly helpful, there's another aspect that we often overlook - our time, expertise, and compassion. Perhaps I can offer my counseling services to those in need, or hold workshops and seminars on managing sleep, anxiety, OCD, and Tourette's. I can provide educational content that could eventually lead to self-empowerment and self-treatment. In the grand scheme of things, we should remember that empowerment is a gift that keeps on giving, much longer than any amount of money can ever provide. So, let's ponder - what can we offer other than money? Let's dig deep into our own knowledge and expertise, use them in service of others, and ultimately, create a more empowered and resilient society. Thoughts? #mentalhealth #charity #empowerment

We Need More Than Awareness: It’s Time for Action It's Suicide Awareness Month, and while mental health awareness is at an all-time high, real change remains painfully slow. Billions is spent globally on campaigns, but where’s the impact? Charities like Mind raised £59.2 million in 2023, with their CEO earning £132,000 – yet they offer no clinical services. Samaritans raise £21 million annually, with a CEO salary of £150,000. Awareness is crucial, but it’s not enough. I’ve been there—serving in the police, battling suicidal thoughts, and fighting my way back. I saw first-hand the gaps in support. Awareness raises money, but action saves lives. That’s why I founded Make Your Life Count, to do more than talk. What do you think? Should charities be doing more than just raising awareness? Let’s push for real change. Drop your thoughts below. And of course if you need help take action because I know what it takes to turn adversity into oppotunity #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthMatters #TakeAction #EndTheStigma #MakeYourLifeCount #MoreThanAwareness #TimeForChange #SupportNotProfit #MentalHealthRevolution

🌟 Skydiving for a Cause: Supporting Mental Health with Mind 🌟 On the 26th July, four incredible colleagues from our team took a leap—literally—by skydiving to raise money for the amazing charity, Mind!

Reflecting on my recent experiences in the charity sector, I feel the need to raise an important question. When mental health charities use famous faces to promote their cause but fail to embody the values they advocate, are they truly serving the people in need? There’s a significant disparity in access to mental health resources between those with fame or money and the average person. Genuine communication, empathy, and understanding are crucial in this field, yet I’ve seen a troubling lack of these values in some leaders. How can we ensure that mental health charities stay true to their mission and provide equitable access to everyone, not just the privileged few? #mentalhealthawareness #awareness #charity

Sometimes, people who are struggling reach out to CRMHS for mental health care, but they have no way to pay for those services. YOUR donation helps to ensure individuals and families are cared for. We turn no one away due to an inability to pay. If you or someone you know has experienced the benefits of behavioral health services, that gift can be available to someone else with your help.
