In their words

What your support makes possible

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 client

After 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 client

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.

Why your gift matters now

"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."
