Mental Health Awareness Week with Advantage - October 2-8, 2022 was a success!
Friends of Advantage asks local churches, businesses, restaurants, and organizations in all 10 counties to ask them to partner with sharing Advantage mental illness facts and information in order to increase awareness. Participating restaurants are setting aside proceeds for this designated time as "it's worth a week" to aid Advantage is bridging gaps in funding to assist individual and program's needs that are not covered by grants, insurance, or family support.
Local churches and organizations are invited to join in the Mental Illness Awareness project by incorporating Friends of Advantage as part of your monthly local missions program. This is a great opportunity to include our message into your programs and earmark a special offering or monthly proceeds to help educate and bridge gaps for individual's need that are not met by government, insurance, or grant proceeds.
Our VIRTUAL Candle Vigil was held at www.facebook.com/Advantagecommunity.com/Advantagecommunity/live_videos/ on Sunday, October 2, 2022 at 7pm. If you missed it, the vigil was recorded on the link to view at your convenience.
