Stronger Together: Make a Lasting Impact This Giving Tuesday

December 1, 2024

At Behavioral Health Network, we believe in the power of community—where shared commitment and collective wellbeing strengthen us all. Health and healing thrive through connection, empathy, and inclusion, not isolation.

That’s why we work to create a space where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported, regardless of who they are or where they come from. Through our comprehensive program offerings, broad reach, and dedicated team, we are united as one BHN community working together to help individuals, families, and communities make positive changes that enhance their quality of life.

On Giving Tuesday, we invite you to join us in fostering hope, healing, and progress. As part of our commitment to strengthening our community we offer two meaningful ways for you to make a difference: by supporting our Staff Excellence Fund or donating to Kamp for Kids. Whether empowering our dedicated staff to continue their life-changing work or providing transformative experiences for children in need, your generosity creates lasting impact. We are stronger together.

Kamp for Kids: Kamp for Kids, located at Camp Togowauk in Westfield, provides a unique integrated summer camp experience for children with and without disabilities. Campers enjoy a variety of activities, including art, nature exploration, and non-competitive sports, ensuring every child can participate and thrive. Your support is vital in making a meaningful impact on the lives of these children and their families, helping us maintain a nurturing environment and offering financial assistance to those in need. Together, we can create lasting memories and opportunities for all.

BHN Staff Excellence Fund: BHN established the Staff Excellence Fund to support workforce development while promoting social justice. Through community partnerships, in-kind services, and generous donations, we provide scholarships and forgivable loans for staff pursuing further education and licensure assistance. Your support of the Staff Excellence Fund helps to ensure our team has the resources needed to support the 38,000 individuals we serve each year. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier community!
