With thanks to you, Caminar and our Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley and Project Ninety divisions combined to transform the lives of 20,000 youth and adults this year with prevention, treatment, and recovery services.

Your support serves as a lifeguard for people who feel like they are drowning in stress, adversity, addiction, and mental health conditions. Your support helps people like Shrtonay, a courageous young woman who shares her story heartbreak, resilience, and recovery with you in this brief video.

How many people in our lives, like Shrtonay, are hiding great pain behind smiles, unsure of how to get help?

We are facing a mental health and substance use crisis among youth and young adults. You may know this through the pain your own family has been through, struggles a coworker has endured, or what you observe as leaders in your communities. But, know there is cause for hope.

We have so much potential to make a difference — to be a lifeguard — by intervening to stop the onset of preventable mental health conditions, and by ensuring people of all ages living with mental health and/or substance use needs have access to compassionate, science-based care and support to recover and heal.

With your help, Caminar is honored to be a trusted lifeguard every day for vulnerable members of our communities. And, each year, Caminar touches the lives of more than 20,000 of youth and adults with treatment for mental health conditions, drug and alcohol addiction, housing, and job support. And, we simply cannot do this work without you.

From all of us at Caminar, and our Family & Children Services of Silicon Valley and Project Ninety divisions, THANK YOU!
