Vail Communities

 

Did you know that mental illness affects 1 in 5 individuals and impacts more families 
than cancer, lung disease, or heart disease?
Our systems are not prepared to respond to the comprehensive needs that someone 
has when mental illness emerges. THAT IS WHY Give to the MAX is SO important!
Our housing, health equity, and clinical programs always set aside program dollars to address these barriers and these funds come solely from donations.  Please help support our mission to help create pathways of recovery with individuals living with mental illness through relationships, purpose, and opportunity.  Your investment in this area is the difference between a successful journey to wellness or a journey with more trauma and pain.
GIVE TO THE MAX!
