A Message from Our CEO this Holiday Season

As COVID-19 continues to spread, the future has never felt so uncertain. Our friends and family are fatigued, stressed, anxious, and isolated. Many individuals and families are experiencing severe hardships that threaten their mental health and wellness. Hardships such as isolation from loved ones, unemployment, food, and housing insecurity.

EveryMind knows that the long-term effects of prolonged periods of anxiety, uncertainty, isolation, and loss are creating a second crisis for our entire community – a crisis that will significantly increase the need for mental health services for many months and years to come. The demand for our services and support has increased twofold due to the stressors caused by COVID-19, racial strife, and political division. Our critical, lifesaving services have adapted to meet the need. We are grateful for the trust and investment from our partners.  That trust has allowed us to increase staffing, upgrade our technology for remote working, and telehealth services, and expand our programs to gain a broader reach in Maryland, DC and Virginia.

EveryMind’s staff and volunteers have worked tirelessly, dedicated to our mission of strengthening communities to ensure that our children, youth, families, veterans, and older adults have the support and  resources they need to be resilient and to cope during these uncertain times.

Whether it’s coordinating wraparound mental health, medical and financial services for our veterans; providing food, PPE and case management to families and the street homeless community; or being readily available 24/7 to listen and support; EveryMind remains a steadfast and vital lifeline to our communities.  

In uncertain times like this, we’re reminded of how interconnected we all are. Now, more than ever our community needs you to join hands with us and support our mission.  Together, we can ensure that EveryMind’s  crisis  intervention and  prevention services,  counseling, care coordination  and mental wellness  services are always available to every mind every time.

Wishing you a safe, healthy and happy holiday season!

Sincerely,

Ann Mazur
