When you make a donation to Wellness in Action (a one-time or recurring gift), you are committing to connecting individuals to a network of resources to support stronger mental health. Contributions of any size can truly go a long way to make positive change for a life and a community. 

• Most responders are not familiar with the stress injury model or the long-term mental, emotional, and physical impacts of occupational stress and trauma. As a result, many responders face fatigue, anxiety, depression, burnout, and suicidality. A recurring gift of $15 a month ensures that a member of the ski patrol can receive the counseling support they need for one year. 
• A WIA scholarship recipient said, “A WIA Camp Scholarship means allowing our children to participate in as many activities that they are interested in, without worrying about what financial sacrifices we would have to make. I never want to tell my child that he can't participate in sports or arts because we can't afford it. WIA's assistance helps our children to become well-rounded, contributing members of the community.” A recurring gift of $45 a month can provide a child the opportunity to experience an exhilarating winter camp or enrichment program (such as equine therapy or a summer college course). 
• According to the National Institute of Mental Illness, 48.6% of people who did not receive mental health care in Montana did so because of cost. A recurring gift of $150 a month can provide sliding-scale counseling support to one client for an entire year. 

When you give to WIA, you give back to the Big Sky community by removing barriers to care and increasing access to behavioral and mental health services. Your donation will help WIA provide a broad range of essential services that help the community thrive.
