Give an Hour provides care and support for a variety of populations (active-duty military, veterans, loved ones of service members, essential hospital workers from NY, NJ, & CT, survivors of man-made and natural disasters), through the generosity of volunteer mental health professionals across the country.
We invite all independently licensed mental health providers to join our network to provide critical mental health services. As a Give an Hour provider, you have the option to participate in various programs providing mental health services, support, and education to populations in need.
Sharing a story about your personal experiences with mental health challenges can help in your own recovery as well as provide encouragement and support to others. Your personal journey provides a sense of community; a message that we are not alone and our situations are far from hopeless.
Your generous contribution helps us provide free mental health care to those in need and continue our efforts to change the culture of mental health. By increasing access to care and by removing cultural barriers, we ensure that someday all in need will receive the support they deserve.
If you recognize that someone in your life is suffering, now what? You connect, you reach out, you inspire hope, and you offer help. Show compassion and caring and a willingness to find a solution when the person may not have the will or drive to help him- or herself. Learn more about additional mental health resources and helplines in your community.
Share with us how you keep positive and hopeful when times are tough. Feel free to share one word or more.
