A message from one of our clients that touched our hearts ??. Benilde Hall re-entry case manager, Jenna, shared this thoughtful note she received from a Benilde Hall client who has been making incredible progress in their healing journey. We hope it brings a smile to your face! Many Benilde Hall clients have dealt with difficult circumstances, harmful stereotypes, and have been misunderstood over and over again throughout their lives. Despite this, they remain kind and humble individuals who work hard each day to make a brighter future for themselves. We are thankful for their gratitude and inspired by their achievements every single day. - Text from the image: “To Jenna. I just wanted to say Thank You, to you, and the rest of the staff here. I’ve never done anything like this before (sober, working) in my whole life, and I’ve also never been HAPPIER. I Love You Guys.”

Breaking generational cycles, overcoming mental and physical barriers, and transitioning into an unfamiliar lifestyle is never an easy journey— but it will always be worth it. By providing access to critical resources and offering comprehensive services, Benilde Hall supports Veterans and individuals experiencing mental health challenges, housing insecurity, and substance use disorder in our community.
