We need your support
We know that it is impossible to achieve the desired result if we don’t work together, the help of some important channels of our society, such as NFP institutions, religious groups, Government, schools and agencies are extremely important to effectively make some changes in this terrifying scenario.
BRACCA MIND is a non-for-profit program and doesn't receive any funds from any institution or government.
We are now at the second stage of the program and we need to join forces to help all these people needing psychological assistance. We have more than 200 people waiting to be reached for the second stage of the program, including people at risk.
Right now, we are counting with the kind support of volunteers psychologists of Bilibio Psychology - Bpsych Clinic, but the program goes beyond only psychological consultation, many vital activities are part of the project such as, specific support for the LGBTQ+ community, support groups, social events, workshops and mental health psychoeducation materials.
We would really appreciate your assistance in helping us execute this project.
THANK YOU!
