Human beings are social beings. During stressful times when the world is seemingly, turned upside down, social isolation can contribute to more stress and illness.
The need for us to stay connected to one another is greater than ever before.
Now imagine that you didn’t have the means to connect.
That’s the reality for hundreds of patients who are in isolation and living with mental illness.
Our hallways are nearly empty and inpatient units have been quiet lately. All of our patients are practicing physical distancing in their rooms and no visitors are allowed in the hospital.
As you can imagine, isolation has been tough for our patients and their families.
Our patients need tablets, microphones and webcams to connect with family and friends and receive the care they desperately need.
This #GivingTuesdayNow, will you help our patients stay connected and safe? Any amount you can give today - $15, $25, $50 – will contribute to the purchase of this much-needed technology.
- $115 will purchase 1 specialized webcam
- $125 will purchase 1 tablet
- $150 will purchase 1 echo-cancelling microphone
These items are often taken for granted by many of us, but for our patients, they mean human connection and easy access to much-needed mental heath care.
Every dollar raised will go directly to helping our patients stay connected and safe.
Thank you.
