Lake Country Health’s Mental Health Programming is an essential lifeline for individuals and families facing mental health challenges in our community. We believe that mental health support should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer a wide range of programs either for free or at very low cost. However, we rely on the generosity of donors to keep these services running and to expand our reach to more people in need.
One of our key offerings is the Grief Support Group, a free program that provides a safe and compassionate environment for individuals coping with loss. Grief can be overwhelming and isolating, but through this group, people find comfort in shared experiences, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and build a supportive community that helps them heal.
Our Walk and Talk sessions are another impactful service. These group walks encourage participants to get outdoors, engage in physical activity, and connect with others in a casual, non-clinical setting. It's a simple yet powerful way to boost mental health by combining movement with social connection, helping to ease anxiety and depression.
In response to the ongoing opioid crisis, we offer free Naloxone training to the community. This life-saving training teaches people how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose, equipping them with the tools and confidence to intervene and potentially save a life.
We also host low-cost community workshops on a variety of mental health topics, making expert knowledge and therapeutic techniques accessible to everyone. From sound therapy, which explores the healing power of music and sound, to workshops focused on managing Adult ADHD, our programs are designed to educate, empower, and support individuals as they navigate their mental health journeys.
Your donation to Lake Country Health allows us to continue offering these invaluable services and ensures that no one in our community is left without the support they need. By investing in our mental health programming, you are making a direct and lasting impact on the well-being of individuals and families, fostering a healthier, more resilient community for all.
