Through our work with individuals transitioning out of homelessness, we've witnessed a critical barrier to permanent housing: access to trauma therapy. Without proper mental health support, many struggle to rebuild stability and secure a place to call home. Unfortunately, long wait times and overwhelmed services make it nearly impossible for people to receive the care they need.
At Residency, our merch sales fund trauma therapy, ensuring individuals receive immediate support by directly connecting them with mental health professionals and covering session costs. Every purchase helps remove barriers to healing, bringing people one step closer to permanent housing and long-term stability.
"I've been in therapy for almost a year now, and while I'm not completely healed, I've come a long way. Before therapy, I had a lot of trouble expressing my emotions, feelings, and desires. But therapy has given me a different outlook. Not to say that I'm just this hard up emotional type of person who doesn't consider the next person's feelings, but I learned that I'm someone who's deserving of equal respect and love. I've also been dealing with childhood trauma, and sifting thru the abandonment issues that I carried with me through life. My therapist is an amazing person, who is still learning a lot about me and my past problems and abuse. With the help of my therapist, I'm making great progress with my kids, my spouse, and my overall health and wellness. I'm grateful for therapy - it's taught me a lot about myself and life in general. I know a lot of people look at therapy as being weak, or unnecessary, but what I have learned is that it's better to start somewhere than to not start at all. So I would recommend therapy to whoever feels like life is overwhelming.”
