Mental health and substance use challenges affect millions of individuals and families across the globe, often creating ripple effects that impact communities, workplaces, and societies.
Despite growing awareness of these issues, access to quality care remains out of reach for many due to financial, logistical, or social barriers. Non-profit organizations like Bleuler Psychotherapy Center work tirelessly to bridge these gaps, offering essential services to those who might otherwise go without help.
Supporting clinics like Bleuler isn’t just charity—it’s an investment in building healthier, more resilient communities. Here’s why your support matters and how you can make a difference.
The Growing Need for Mental Health and Addiction Services
Mental Health: A National Crisis
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), nearly one in five U.S. adults lives with a mental illness, amounting to over 57 million people in 2021 alone.
Among adolescents aged 12–17, more than 20% experienced a major depressive episode, yet only about 40% received treatment, per the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
Substance Use Disorders (Addiction): A Parallel Epidemic
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that over 100,000 people in the U.S. died from drug overdoses in 2022, highlighting the urgent need for effective prevention and recovery programs.
Alcohol use disorder impacts approximately 14.5 million Americans, yet fewer than 10% receive the treatment they need, according to SAMHSA.
These statistics highlight the critical need for accessible, affordable care. Clinics like ours serve as a lifeline for individuals and families in crisis, offering services such as therapy, medication-assisted treatment, group counseling, and telehealth options. But these services can be significantly expanded with the support of generous donors like you, allowing us to increase our capacity and reach even more individuals in need.
