On May 5th, we recognize National Silence the Shame Day, fostering discussions on mental health and wellness, nurturing relationships with loved ones, and combating the stigma around mental illness. Each year, we commemorate this special day with specialized themes that recognize the importance of mental well-being for all. 

For the past decade, supporters like you have been the heartbeat of Silence the Shame. As we celebrate “10 Years of Silence the Shame: Creating a Safe Space for Mental Wellness”—honoring our past and investing in our future—we hope that you continue to show your support so we create a lasting impact on youth, young adults and their families.

Due to unexpected budget cuts, we are facing a significant funding gap that threatens our ability to continue delivering essential programs and services to the communities we serve. At a time when our work is needed most, this challenge puts our mission at risk.

Every day, we strive to educate, empower, and uplift individuals and families by providing resources, support, and opportunities that create lasting impact. Without immediate funding, we may be forced to scale back or suspend key initiatives that so many depend on.

We are reaching out to dedicated supporters like you to help us bridge this gap. An emergency contribution of any amount will go directly toward sustaining our programs and ensuring we can continue serving those who rely on us.

We are asking supporters like you to give $10 to help sustain our programming for children and their families.  Together, we can confront mental health challenges and advocate for well-being, acknowledging that every voice contributes to our collective journey towards health and happiness. Every person’s story matters in the conversation about mental health. We unite to amplify support, reduce stigma, and ensure that everyone feels heard, valued, and equipped to seek help.
