Carolina Care and Counseling participated in the Thad and Alice Eure Walk For Hope – a walk that raises both money and awareness for the Research and Treatment of Mental Illness. Most of the team walked the entire 10-K on October 11, 2009! Dr. Kristy Matala led a team of Carolina Care runners in the first annual 10-K Run for Hope this year! The weather was picture perfect and we all enjoyed the beautiful walk through Umstead Park.
The Foundation of Hope for Research and Treatment of Mental Illness is pleased to continue their Community Service Grant program, made possible through a grant from GlaxoSmithKline. The Foundation will award grants through an application process to nonprofit organizations for new or expanded innovative service or treatment programs for the mentally ill. The focus will be on direct service activities specifically targeted to youth, senior citizens, and the homeless population who may not receive treatment otherwise.
The Foundation of Hope for Research and Treatment of Mental Illness was established by the late Thad and Alice Eure to promote scientific research aimed at discovering the causes and potential cures for mental illness in order to develop a more effective means of treatment.
"The future of our country depends on the mental health and strength of our young people. However, many children have mental health problems that interfere with normal development and functioning. In the US today, one in ten children suffer from a mental disorder sever enough to cause some level of impairment." — National Institute of Mental Health
