Youth Eastside Services
Giving
Like everything else this year, this holiday season is filled with tough choices and significant challenges for youth needing counseling and recovery. We’re seeing young people experiencing a dramatic increase in isolation, fear, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and even death by suicide.
The good news is you can help!
You can support children, youth, and families struggling with mental health and substance use challenges this holiday season. You can give them the counseling and treatment they need, even if they can’t afford services. With your donation, recovery is possible FOR ALL!
Below are five ways to support youth mental health this holiday season and give children, youth, and families hope for a better tomorrow.
Five Ways of Giving this Holiday Season
- DONATE TO THE END-OF-THE-YEAR CAMPAIGN
Send your critical year-end gift by midnight, December 31st, to provide children and youth a chance to recover, heal, and thrive. You don’t have to wait. Make your gift today! - DONATE STOCK
You can donate shares of stock that you have owned for at least one year. By giving this way, you avoid paying taxes on the increased value of the stock. Visit our stock donation page or consult your tax advisor for more information. - HONOR A LOVED ONE WITH A GIFT
Making a donation in someone’s name is a special way to recognize them and help a young person who’s struggling. A special tribute card, drawn by a YES client, will be sent in recognition of your generous gift to the honoree of your donation. Make a gift in someone’s name. - GATHER A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT
Invite your friends, family, and coworkers to join you in support of children, youth, and families by hosting a fundraiser, workplace event, holiday party, or birthday celebration – the ideas are endless! If you’d like to learn how you can take action and gather a community in support of youth mental health, contact Becca Holbrook at beccah@youtheastsideservices.org
This holiday season, many young people are urgently waiting for your help. With your gift today, you can make recovery possible. But it all starts with providing one youth with mental health counseling and treatment.
We know you care about the mental health of children and youth. And we’re so thankful you can help youth on the path to recovery!
