Samaritan Counseling Services Launches Campaign to Expand Access to Mental Health Care on Florida's Gulf Coast

The Giving Coast

Samaritan Counseling Services of the Gulf Coast has announced the launch of the “Let’s Say YES!” campaign – a $4 million philanthropic initiative to expand access to professional mental health counseling across Sarasota and Manatee Counties. With $3.6 million already secured from lead donors, Samaritan Counseling Services is inviting the community to “say yes” to accessible mental health services – with a donation towards the final $400,000. Every gift matters in this push to cross the finish line. For many people, access to counseling can mean the difference between continuing trauma and the beginning of healing. To support the campaign visit www.samaritangulfcoast.com or call 941.926.2959. When someone finds the courage to ask for help, let’s ensure Samaritan can say YES.
