Poverty Awareness and Mental Health

January is Poverty in America Awareness Month. Poverty in America is a pressing issue that impacts individuals and families across the nation. The consequences of poverty are significant and far reaching, impacting all dimensions of wellness, including mental wellness. Poverty can be viewed through an intergenerational lens, creating a cycle of hardship that is often difficult for individuals to break without support and resources.

As an organization focused on mental health awareness in our community, Horizon acknowledges the impact poverty can have on an individual’s mental wellbeing.

Addressing poverty requires a comprehensive approach, giving individuals equitable access to the resources and services they need to thrive. In honor and recognition of Poverty in America Awareness Month, we want to share some local organizations dedicated to the fight against poverty.

Horizon is committed to supporting our community and their mental wellbeing. We serve all individuals, regardless of ability to pay. If you or a loved one are struggling, Horizon is here to help. Call us at 716.831.1800 or visit our website to schedule an appointment with our trained professionals.
