Help make mental health accessible in my community

Hello everyone,

"Being empathic is seeing the world through the eyes of another and not seeing our world reflected in their eyes."

-Carl Rogers-

Depression along with other mental disorders is a very serious and real problem.

My name is Elias Robles Tovar, I am a clinical psychology student.

I live in a small town called Celaya, which is in the state of Guanajuto in Mexico.

A few years ago I have become aware of a very serious problem that exists in my community and continues to grow.

It's about depression and other mental disorders that too many people are going through.

I myself have suffered a serious depressive episode in my life, without going into much detail, I can say that it is an experience that I would not wish on anyone, the suffering that one can go through is difficult to understand now times underestimated. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to receive the psychological and psychiatric care I needed to recover and move on. If I hadn't had the support and help I received, everything would have ended differently.

Depression along with other mental disorders is a very serious and real problem.

In the year 2020, the INEGI announced the deaths in my state due to suicide.

We are the fourth federal entity with the most registered suicides in the entire country.

501 people died by their own hand. Men and women who suffered in silence, who could not receive the help they needed, and in their desperation to stop feeling so much pain, decided to take that exit.

It's time to do something!

We can't wait any longer!

We will not let more people go without the help they so desperately need!

With your help, an organization will be created so that people can receive the clinical and professional care they need to care for their mental health.

The three main goals that this organization will have are:

- Disseminate information by various means about what depression is and the other most common mental disorders that exist.

- Help to remove the stigmas and taboos that exist about mental health care.

- Make psychological and psychiatric care accessible to low-income people.

This organization will be non-profit

Your donation will be used to make these goals a reality. With your help it will be possible to carry out campaigns and talks in my community.

Together we can open a psychology and psychiatry office with everything necessary to provide therapy.
