Dear Friends of Keystone House,
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Keystone House, Inc. In celebration of this significant milestone, our Annual Campaign is honoring our past and celebrating our future.
We have come a long way! Keystone began with one home that served 10 clients. Today, our clients benefit from a variety of programs and services we provide including:
-
Two transitional housing programs
-
One long term housing program
-
A community supportive program
-
A psychosocial rehabilitation programs
-
The Community Living Center program, which offers social, cultural, educational, and rehabilitative programming
Your gift TODAY will work to immediately strengthen and support our mission and commitment to providing support for adults struggling with mental illness. Why is this so important? Recent surveys show:
-
8.54% of young adults (ages 18-25) in Southwest Connecticut, where we serve our clients, reported serious mental illness in the last year.1
-
15.3% of Connecticut respondents experienced symptoms of depression during the pandemic nearly every day in a two-week period, while 32% reported feeling anxious almost every day in the last two weeks of August 2021.2
Together, we can build a stronger, healthier community! Your gift TODAY will provide for those who need it most and make a difference in the lives of so many adults facing the challenges of mental illness.
Sincerely,
Anthony Perrone
Chairman, Board of Directors
