Story
As well as supporting the great work Wellspring does we also want to raise awareness and break the stigma surrounding mental health.
A young person came age 16 feeling hopeless, suicidal and not able to trust anyone. After many sessions with a Wellspring Counsellor, they are now planning their future and managing their difficult days much better.Another young person was struggling with anxiety. After CBT sessions with a Wellspring Wellbeing Practitioner they're now able to enjoy life again.Each session costs £50 to provide and as Wellspring only asks for a minimum donation of £10, that leaves the charity with £40 to raise for each session.In 2020, Wellspring expects to provide around 1450 sessions for 11-25 year olds locally at a cost of around £72,500. Even if every session received a donation of £10, Wellspring has to fundraise £58,000 to subsidise these sessions.75% of all adult mental health problems start before the age of 18, and help before things escalate is vital.Please help Wellspring subsidise this essential service for local young people and make a real difference to their lives.
