TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH IN GAZA STRIP

Coast Mental Health knows that recovery from mental illness is more than taking pills. Through individualized support and client involvement in goal-setting and care, Coast has successfully helped thousands of people in their recovery. Last year Coast staff and peer support workers reached out to over 3000 clients. We provided supported housing to over 900 people, helped hundreds of people find work and volunteer opportunities, served over 1000 meals each day, and provide such basic human comforts as laundry and shower facilities, and social and recreational activities. All designed to facilitate recovery for those in need. Coast clients form a thriving community of people working each day to overcome illness, adversity and stigma. We have seen many individuals move from unemployment, homelessness, being hungry and alone, to finding jobs, homes, food and a community of people who care. Coast welcomes anyone with a mental illness to participate in our services and programs.

Crossroads is a children's mental health treatment centre that provides services in the home, schools and community. The children we help often display behaviours such as fear, anxiety, sadness, aggression or depression. These are the children whose problems will impact severely and negatively both on their own lives and on the lives of others if not treated. Services may include parent support, crisis intervention, family and individual therapy, and parent effectiveness training.

This is accomplished through support counselling, skill development and social/recreational programs.
