Making an impact on mental health, including those who can not afford it.
A beloved annual event by Mind & Spirit Counseling Center and a dedicated planning committee, the Women Helping Women luncheon raises funds to support mental health counseling, education, training and other services that impact women, children and families who are underinsured or from low income households.
Since 1999, Women Helping Women has raised more than $2.7 million to support those struggling with the challenges of life.
