Because of you nearly 4,000 Detroit children and families received the mental and behavioral health treatment necessary for them to heal, grow and thrive - even during a pandemic. But our work isn't yet done.
That's why I'm writing to you. We are only able to serve around 70% of the children previously in treatment before the pandemic. Lack of technology or discomfort using tablets and smartphones is a barrier for many families living in poverty. It keeps them from accessing life-changing treatment via telemedicine.
You can help. We've equipped and empowered many families through the purchase and distribution of tablets. These tablets not only enable children to receive treatment. They also enable children to participate in pre-k, elementary, middle and high school.
Your generous contributions will help meet the greatest need of Greater Detroit children and families. Please give now. Not only to help children access education, but also much needed social engagement.
If you've read this far, you really care about children and youth. You've probably heard, suicide attempts are skyrocketing. Children and youth need hope now. You can give them help, hope and a glimpse of brighter days ahead.
Please give.
