Why 'Give an Hour'
Starting November 15th through the 30th, in honor and support of our past, current, and active military team members, Parsons has selected ‘Give An Hour’ as our spotlight charity. Give an Hour provides free mental healthcare for those who serve, their families and their communities. There are over 700,000 mental health professionals across our country who have provided more than 225,000 hours of free care valued at nearly $23 million. Many of these hours have benefited veterans, active military and their families seek treatment for PTSD and find a new normal to life after being deployed. For those who have given so much, let’s help give something back. Please help Parsons donate to support the ‘Give An Hour’ initiative to spread awareness surrounding mental health and support those who may not otherwise be able to seek help.
Their Mission
Give an Hour’s mission is to develop national networks of volunteers capable of responding to both acute and chronic conditions that arise within our society. By harnessing the skill and expertise of volunteer professionals, they are able to increase the likelihood that those in need receive the support and care they deserve.
Their Focus
To identify at-risk populations and other groups in need that can benefit from Give an Hour's model of delivering services through a network of volunteer professionals. Since 2005 they have focused on providing free mental health care to active duty, National Guard and Reserve service members, veterans, and their families.
Their Vision
Give an Hour believes that within our communities we have the resources to address many of the challenges that face our society. These challenges, such as time in military service or victims of crime, often result in emotional pain and suffering. By harnessing the skills and generosity of citizens across our nation and around the world, they provide those in need with help and hope. Give an Hour offers those who care the opportunity to give.
Please join Parsons in supporting the National Guard, Reserve service members, veterans, and their families, by raising awareness and changing the culture surrounding mental health.
