'By providing support groups and just activities to get to know people and come out in low-key environments, it gives people a sense of belonging and not feeling so isolated,' said Will Koehler, executive director of Journey: Healing Together.
Funds raised will go towards funding therapy for those who cannot afford it themselves.
