Mental health care is able to thrive when the community works together. EmpathyHQ is based out of Fort Worth, Texas, and there is an amazing opportunity to make a difference here locally with North Texas Giving Day. Join us to find your passion and give with purpose to our local community so we can better serve all of Texas. Your support matters!

‍

SAVE THE DATE: North Texas Giving Day is Thursday, September 21, 2023! Early giving starts this Friday, September 1st. Please bookmark our organization page (https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/Empathyhqorg) and we hope you will consider donating and inviting friends and family to do the same.

‍

Children, adults, and families are resilient and can achieve incredible things when given the tools and support they need, but we need your help to accomplish this goal!

‍

When you donate to EmpathyHQ, you are helping to provide services for someone who could not afford to pay for therapy. You are helping strengthen our therapists with intense training to aid clients in healing from deep trauma. You are allowing us to perform outreach to educate communities that counseling is for the strong, not the weak, and that services are available no matter how rural or impoverished the community.

‍

Your gift means building up communities, children, adults, and families as they seek to resolve difficult life events or feelings of depression and anxiety.

‍

OUR MISSION: To provide life-changing mental health services to Texans with a focus on vulnerable populations
