Building Connections for Change: How Strategic Partnerships Drive Innovation and Healing in Mental Health Care 

By August 22, 2024Blog

Give an Hour has been a change-maker in mental health care for two decades, and a cornerstone of our approach has been a commitment to customized solutions, for both individuals and organizations. But before there can be solutions, there must be connections. 

At Give an Hour, partnership is connection. Our purpose in fostering relationships of all kinds is to counter human-made trauma with human-made resilience. We strive to accomplish this with partners and for partners. By prioritizing the voices and experiences of our collaborators, we move beyond prescriptive treatment and help to facilitate healing through personal empowerment. 

Strategic partnerships are key to this this result. The diverse expertise and comprehensive resources of our partners impact Give an Hour’s continuous growth, versatility, and advancement of mental health care for the populations we serve. Partnerships extend our reach to new communities and demographics, combining perspectives for relevant, innovative, and holistic solutions. This positive outcome is impeccably demonstrated by partners who share our prioritized values of excellence, integrity, and humility. A shining example comes from our invaluable allies at the American Society on Aging (ASA). Learn more about this endeavor from our ASA summary.

Our providers, wellness ambassadors, peer supporters, educators, industry experts, and creative contributors all work alongside us in multiple ways, but always with a common goal – to foster growth and well-being for people. At Give an Hour, we hold that sentiment at the heart of our work as we look to the future of mental health care and aspire to restore hope and healing.
