What would you like for the community to know about the challenges your organization is trying to solve?
"Of the 452,000 adults in North Carolina who did not receive needed mental health care, 44.8% did not because of cost."
Could you describe for our community how Sanctuary Counseling Group supports mental well being?
There is a serious need in our communities to address mental health needs. Sanctuary does this by serving populations that historically have been overlooked and underserved due to many reasons including financial constraints.
