Beth is a mother of five who has worked hard during her time at the mental health center. She has a long history of depression that would often leave her unable to get her children to school or to get out and find a job. Beth has accomplished a lot since she began receiving treatment. Her accomplishments are many to include taking steps as a parent to get DSS out of her life and she has found herself a stable job she enjoys that allows her to support her family.

Beth spends a significant amount of her time making sure her children receive the love and care they need. It’s not easy being a single mother of five, and many household chores would present a challenge for her as she balanced work and family. Washing clothes was just one example. She did not have a washing machine and with five children, dirty clothes piled up quickly. She would use the family bathtub to make sure her children went to school each and every day with clean clothes.

The mental health center took note of all her hard work and current challenges and approached Mental Health HEROES to see if they might help. Mental Health HEROES discussed the matter and was able to purchase a washing machine, which has made an incredible difference in the overall quality of life for her family.
