Mental health wasn't something we paid much attention to - the pandemic taught us that it really matters

Earlier this week we celebrated Giving Tuesday

Thousands of organizations were asking for help.

Some made the target they had set out – others may not have done as well.

That doesn’t mean they aren’t worthy.

Eagles Nest, an NGA that serves Burlington and parts of Hamilton – they will help anyone who knocks on their door is looking for support.

Real Life Isn’t Perfect

Counselling and mental health support is expensive. Eagles Nest provides low cost financially supported help.

Why is mental health so important?  Because, unlike a holiday movie, real life isn’t always picture perfect.

Statistics tell us that one in five Canadians experience mental health issues.  Anxiety, depression, trauma and difficult relationships are unwanted guests around many dinner tables.

Mental health issues affect not only the person, but spill out to affect relationships, families and communities.

Eagles Nest Makes Getting Help Easier

Finding affordable, local mental health services can be difficult.  Eagles Nest is a registered charity that helps people care for their mental health, understand themselves and learn new tools for healthy relationships.

We provide counselling, coaching and support programs to adults, youth and children. All our services are fully subsidized or low cost because we think everyone should be able to care for their mental health.

 Will You Help?

To help sustain our existing mental health services, our goal is to raise $35,000. Every $50 donated provides one hour of mental health services.  A donation of $200 provides someone with a month of service.

Your donation will be appreciated.  Click HERE to help
