Y Counseling Service Virtual Journal Meet the Moment by Supporting the Y Counseling Service Place Ad/Donate
Please join us in Meeting the Moment by placing an ad in our Virtual Journal which will help support the YMCA Counseling Service’s assurance that no one is ever turned away due to an inability to pay. The pandemic’s toll on our island has been significant: anxiety, depression, and substance misuse are at an all-time high. But the Y Counseling Service is ready to MEET THIS MOMENT. Since 1980, we have provided the Staten Island community with comprehensive prevention and treatment services. Due to COVID restrictions, we are unable to host our traditional annual event to support our fundraising efforts. This event helps to ensure that services remain accessible for all. However, we must continue to meet the needs of our community and we need your help! To help accomplish this, we are publishing a virtual journal on our website and have several sponsorship opportunities available. In 2020, our addiction treatment programs served over 600 individuals and conducted of 20,500 visits, most of which were through telehealth. In addition, we have been able to reach over 2,445 people at health and wellness events in the past year. We have also served 1,275 youth utilizing evidence-based practices, all with encouraging outcomes! Remember, all money raised for the Counseling Service is used to support Counseling Service programs and ultimately the lives of the families impacted by those services. “I finally realized that I’m just a good kid gone wrong, plain and simple, but there’s still a lot of right I can do. I would not be where I am today without everyone I came into contact with at the YMCA. The best thing I got out of treatment at the YMCA was this: I can finally be the person I was always meant to be.” - Marco, former counselee Sponsorship Levels PLATINUM PAGE: $1,000 DIAMOND PAGE: $500 GOLD PAGE: $250 SILVER PAGE: $125 BRONZE PAGE: $75 1/2 PAGE: $50 Place Ad/Donate Become a Member Work out in our gyms and pools, sign up for free child watch, get personalized support for your fitness goals, and help your community.
