You believe in hope. You believe in life. You believe in happiness for everyone.
As an official Safety Net Provider, Aurora Mental Health & Recovery provides care for everyone who walks through our doors, regardless of their ability to pay. You make that possible.
You are the lifeline for the man who struggles to hold a job because of the depression that makes it hard to get out of bed. You are the lifeline for the woman who is pushing all of her belongings in a shopping cart on Mississippi Avenue. You are the lifeline of the child whose parents are getting a divorce.
You give hope. You give life. You give back smiles.
"Before I came to [Aurora Mental Health & Recovery], I was in and out of the hospital every three or four months. I have a son who, at the time, was about nine years old. I was a single parent and when I came to the Center, I had been in the hospital for about a month. I was pretty hopeless. I really didn't see any future for myself.
‘When I came to AMHR I got a new therapist and joined a support group. I have gained joint custody of my son with the help of my therapist and have started making the road back to a meaningful life.
‘It is so different now. I have had a job for 2.5 years. I am a social worker and giving back. I basically have a productive and meaningful life that I didn't have before."
