KINDNESS STARTS HERE
Be the Start of Kindness This Season
Dear MHA Friends,
As the holiday season draws near, we’re reminded that kindness is more than a gesture; it’s a force that transforms lives. At Mental Health America Lakeshore, kindness is the heartbeat of our work and the foundation of hope for so many in our community.
Last year, we served over 10,800 individuals through education, prevention, crisis support, and recovery-focused programs; proof that kindness truly makes a difference.
Your kindness is woven into every moment of healing-when a student learns coping skills through our Resilient Schools K–12 program, a teacher gains suicide prevention skills, or someone finds hope through crisis and recovery support. Kindness starts right here, with YOU.
Your kindness dollars help:
- Build resilience in classrooms across our community.
- Deliver suicide awareness and prevention training that saves lives.
- Provide crisis support for those in their darkest moments.
- Connect families to mental health, addiction and recovery resources.
- Expand community awareness that breaks stigma and opens doors to healing.
Help us grow kindness and resilience in our community. Give your kindness dollars today.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Julie L. Preder & the MHA Lakeshore Team and Board of Directors
Each donation comes with a Kindness Magnet, featuring a QR code that links to our customized Kindness Playlist, a collection of uplifting music and podcasts to inspire your spirit and encourage acts of kindness.
2025 Holiday Card Artist: Natalie Grunwald, a student at Sheboygan Falls High School, created this beautiful piece of art, “KINDNESS STARTS HERE.” The hand-painted heart embodies the spirit of our mission, showing that kindness begins within and flows outward, creating hope and connection throughout our community.
