Struggling with mental health is hard enough when you have support...Imagine what it's like when you lack the resources for life's basic needs? In Alexandria, there are low-income residents working hard to manage or recover from mental health conditions who have no one to turn to when emergency needs fall through the cracks. Unexpected costs and shortages in funds for housing and life's basic needs—all can make staying on an already difficult path to recovery even harder. They need community support and Friends of Alexandria Mental Health ("Friends") is ready to provide it.
