Description

Join us wherever you are to write cards filled with hope, healing and solidarity for survivors of traumatic experiences and PTSD!

We are currently collecting cards to distribute to patients at Linder Center of HOPE, a nonprofit, mental health center in Cincinnati, OH.

Suggested supplies, writing guidelines and fliers can be found here.

Cards will be distributed to individual survivors across the globe, as well as organizations that serve survivors of trauma across Southwestern Ohio and surrounding areas.  Past organizations include: YWCA of Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Tristate Trauma Network, Lighthouse Youth & Family Services, the Cincinnati VA, Walleyes for Wounded Heroes and Kaleidoscope Youth Center.

Previous examples of cards can be found here.

This is a great volunteering opportunity for those with any skill set, disability status or age. It can even be used as a form of self-care, art therapy or mindfulness practice! This is a great opportunity to discuss PTSD and mental health awareness with your family, friends or group. 

Join us in our vision for every survivor to know that they are a part of something larger, to feel there is a community of people rooting for them, and to believe that they hold power in their recovery and knowledge in their healing that can be passed on to others!

You do not have to be a survivor of trauma or have a PTSD diagnosis to participate!

This is an ongoing need and will go on continuously, so join us whenever it works for you, or on an ongoing basis.
