Give the gift of therapy

-

Richmond Foundation is launching the ‘Gift of Therapy’ campaign

Therapy enhances personal growth and empowers people experienci­ng distress to better deal with life’s issues. Therapy also enhances the coping skills of those with longer-term mental health problems. Therapy sessions offer an opportunit­y to receive support and deal with issues that are affecting a person negatively. Persons who need therapy might not be able to afford it.

The Gift of Therapy campaign will help the Richmond Foundation to provide free therapy to those who need it but cannot pay for it. Giving the Gift of Therapy is an ideal way to show generosity over the Christmas period and beyond. Each Gift of Therapy voucher costs €50. Vouchers can be bought from https://www.richmond.org.mt/the-gift-of-therapy/

Richmond currently provides around 3,600 therapy sessions a year. Therapy is provided by profession­als and the cost to offer such service runs into thousands of euros each year.

Richmond is inviting individual­s, business companies and organisati­ons to give someone the Gift of Therapy by purchasing vouchers for therapy. Sessions are held with qualified profession­als at the Richmond Foundation. Through the Gift of Therapy vouchers people can help Richmond provide more free therapy sessions to persons requiring help. Contribute to the nation’s mental health by giving the gift of therapy.
