Hearts coming together to heal.
Here's to hearts like ours with so much love to give.
I’m Robin Telle, a staff member at EricsHouse. I'm raising funds to help reach our $100,000 goal for our Hope and Healing 2021 Campaign. Would you help me?
Do you know that one in every six American are touched by suicide? This mental health issue comes in the form of self-harm or substance abuse. To me, that statistic seemed like a lot of people impacted by suicide. Then, I examined my own life. I recalled a neighbor taking their own life when I was in grade school. As I rolled through the years, I thought other times: someone’s parent, a son, a husband. All leaving behind families and friends who were devasted. I wondered how these folks managed. Where did they go for help, love, and support?
In reflection, this is why EricsHouse is critical. We walk hand-in-hand with our clients as they navigate their shattered world. Many of our own staff have experienced personal loss and deeply understand the grief felt by those we serve.
At EricsHouse we provide the healing resources that reduce grief symptoms, promote growth and personal well-being. What is taking place within the walls of the EricsHouse community is amazing and life-changing for loss survivors. They learn to find joy and appreciation in their lives, while remembering their loved ones. Programs are available virtually and in-person.
Sadly, the trend of suicide and loss through substance abuse is growing. Our work needs to be expanded. Join me in being an advocate for those who struggle for the strength to continue after loss. By giving today, you'll make an important investment in the health and well-being of many who have been impacted by this growing crisis.
