Right now, someone in our community is struggling in silence not because help doesn’t exist, but because they can’t afford it.

 

The Healing Station is changing that.

Since opening in 2022, The Healing Station a 501(c)(3) nonprofit mental health counseling center has provided more than 2,600 free counseling sessions to individuals and families across our community. We have done this while simultaneously building the next generation of mental health professionals through our Clinical Training and Workforce Development Program. Our work is rooted in one belief: quality mental health care should never be a privilege.

On October 24th, we invite you to join us for an extraordinary evening that celebrates how far we’ve come and fuels how far we’ll go.

 

An Evening You Won’t Forget

You’ll sit across the table from elected officials, community leaders, healthcare professionals, and the counselors, families, and clients who have lived this work firsthand. You’ll hear the stories. You’ll see the impact. And you’ll be part of what comes next.

The evening includes:

• VIP & Sponsor Networking Reception — connect with the leaders shaping our region
• Four-Course Dinner — an elegant, upscale dining experience
• Heart of the Community Honorees — recognition of individuals and organizations whose dedication to mental wellness has transformed lives across the PD16 region
• Impact Stories — hear directly from those whose lives have been changed
• Silent Auction, Raffles & Giveaways
• Live Entertainment
• Opportunities to Give, Partner, and Make a Lasting Difference

 

Why Your Presence Matters

Every seat filled is a statement: that our community refuses to leave anyone behind when it comes to mental health.

Funds raised at the Gala directly support:

• Affordable and free counseling services for uninsured and underserved individuals and families
• Clinical training and workforce development for emerging mental health professionals
• Community outreach and mental health education initiatives
• Expansion of access to quality behavioral health services throughout the PD16 region

 

Your support ensures that no one is turned away from receiving the care they need due to financial hardship.
