Here's what your gift does for neighbors across Dane County facing a mental health crisis:
Funds an hour for staff who answer the crisis line, each hour of the day.
Ensures a safe space for someone to join a group recovery session.
Creates access to therapy for someone with limited resources.
Covers psychiatry appointments for an underinsured individual.
A gift in your will or estate plan costs you nothing today — and helps keep mental health care within reach for Dane County families for generations to come.
100% supports local mental health care.
My recovery story is picking up the bits and pieces of my life while finding mindfulness in everyday things like planning next year's garden. If you've spent a lifetime in and out of crisis clinics, making future plans is a big deal.
— John S., Journey clientAfter my mental health crisis, Journey made me feel safe again and got me back into my apartment. All this time, they continued working with me. They have made a big difference in my life.
— Trudy, Journey clientYour neighbors, parents, kids, veterans, coworkers — the faces of the community Journey serves every day.
In 2025, donations made up just 4% of Journey's revenue — but they're the flexible dollars that keep care within reach for those who can't pay. Your gift fills that gap.
— Sarah Valencia, President & CEO"At a time when mental health systems face increasing financial pressure, donor support is more critical than ever. Your generosity creates access to care for people who might otherwise go without."
Your gift keeps mental health care within reach for our neighbors across Dane County.
