Create a Lasting Impact

1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 children and youth experience the effects of a mental illness every year. 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24. (NAMI)

Wyandot Behavioral Health Network has provided mental health treatment for children, youth, adults, and families since 1953. Our network of organizations offers person-centered, culturally competent, and trauma-informed services designed to provide hope and healing to anyone experiencing mental health challenges.

Your gift to our Annual Fund helps ensure that our community has consistent access to compassionate, life-changing mental health care. Every donation supports vital services like therapy, crisis response, and housing that empower people to heal, grow, and thrive. Together, we create a lasting impact.

Does your company support a corporate matching gift program? Matching gifts are a simple way to give more to Wyandot BHN.

Matching gifts are a way for companies to reward employees for making charitable donations. When you donate, you can register the donation with your employer, and they will make a matching gift to the same charity. The level of match varies, but employers usually match at a 1:1 ratio or higher.

Wyandot BHN and all of its programs are eligible to receive corporate matching gifts. Your generosity goes twice as far when you take advantage of your company’s corporate matching gift program.

For more information on corporate matching gifts, contact Kayla Schartz, Director of Communications and Development, at kayla.schartz@www.wyandotbhn.org/.

If you would like to make a gift in honor or memory of someone special, please include the name of the individual you would like to honor. Be sure to provide your mailing address and phone number. A development team member will contact you for the information we need to acknowledge the individual or family.

For questions about tribute gifts, please contact Kayla at kayla.schartz@www.wyandotbhn.org/.

On August 31, 2015, PACES opened Robert’s Place Children’s Emergency Shelter. Robert’s Place was built with love and support from donors across Kansas City and beyond. Named in loving memory of Robert Zevenbergen, our shelter is a safe haven for children in crisis.

Your financial support and donations make a world of difference. Your gift provides shelter, food, clothing, personal care items, and support for children during their stay. Because of you, Robert’s Place is a warm and welcoming home where children can begin the healing process.

Resilience is the internal fortitude that enables us to adapt and recover from trauma or adversity. We all face adversity at some point in our lives, so it is important to be intentional about building resilience.

Remarkably Resilient Together (RRT) is a community campaign to raise awareness about trauma, healing, and resilience. RRT has developed decks of cards with practical tips for practicing regular self-care and improving your mental well-being—a vital combination for building resilience.

When you donate $50 to Wyandot BHN, you will receive 2 decks of cards as well as a journal to help you build resilience. If you choose, you will also have the option to donate the journal and card set to a Wyandot BHN client. Your one-time donation allows us to expand and improve our mental health services in Wyandotte County, providing tangible hope and impact in our community. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, and all donations are tax-deductible.
