Mental Health needs community support
ASCEND works to elevate awareness of mental health through special events and activities. Some projects are one-time-only and a collaboration among many mental health groups such as the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill – North Country, Liberty House, and the Behavioral Health Department of the Glens Falls Hospital. Other activities are scheduled annually to raise funds for existing programs in addition to awareness. Building the best event requires corporate partnerships.
Through annual underwriting, companies and ASCEND can plan more efficiently and effectively. Continuity of support enhances community awareness and connection to mental health activities… and the companies who support them.
