Mental Health Task Force of Polk County

"The community and love felt was amazing. Thank you so very much."

This is what mental health support can look like in Polk County. 

Every month, people in our community show up to our programs looking for connection...and they leave feeling less alone. Through shared experiences, honest conversation, and a welcoming environment, we are creating spaces where people from all walks of life can feel seen, supported, and connected to others.

At the Mental Health Task Force of Polk County, our work is rooted in community and the belief that connection is essential to mental wellbeing.

Your Donation Makes a Difference!

As one participant shared:

"I felt so much less alone in how I feel. The presenter and the small group activity discussions were so helpful. I feel seen and my feelings validated."

Others have told us:

"I have a wonderful experience each time I come here. This helps my recovery journey."

"I can't articulate how much I enjoyed and looked forward to these sessions each month. I do believe the community and connection I experienced helped ease my symptoms of seasonal depression. Thank you, thank you, thank you."

"Our community needs more opportunities like this! I saw a massive improvement in my emotional wellbeing after navigating a divorce during these workshops."
