WISH LIST

Often times, when an individual seeks Catholic Charities for behavioral services, they are nervous and a bit hesitant. To help ease the transition into therapy, we like to provide an environment of comfort and peacefulness. We accomplish this by having specific items available for our clients to hold, mold and move around in their hands. Many of these items release tension, relieve stress and boost blood circulation. If you can find it in your heart to donate any of the items on our Wish List, we would greatly appreciate it!
