Please join us for the annual fundraiser to Stomp Out Mental Illness Stigma (SOMIS) at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club. The bike ride portion of the event has been cancelled due to forecasted rain.
"Mental illness deserves the same empathy as all life threatening diseases do, so we started a grass roots effort to create awareness, help break the stigma and reduce shame." -Diana
The 2022 event raised more than $10,000 to help bring mental health awareness, education and support to Orange County. This new care delivery model of mobile mental healthcare teams help serve those struggling and they even joined us part of the day. Please join us in making this year even more impactful! 2024 donations will go to the UCI Psychological Services Center (PSC). Thank you for your love and support.
**100% of this year's donations in memory of Shannon Morris will be donated to PSC, a mental health clinic that provides low-cost psychotherapy and psychological assessments to people with limited resources. When therapy is at a cost that often cripples families regardless of quality insurance or financial status, treatment options like PSC can make a huge difference. Areas of focus include symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, psychotic disorders, and other mental health concerns. PSC is a newly created program spearheaded by Dr. Naomi Tabak, Clinic Director, and Dr. Jason Schiffman, Director of Clinical Training. ”This clinic is an invaluable asset to the community in that we provide top-tier, highest-quality care to some of our most vulnerable citizens at a deeply discounted cost." The PSC serves as the primary clinical training site for a select group of the most talented and promising clinical psychology Ph.D students in the country with close supervision by licensed clinical psychologists.
