A huge thank you to Lions District 202M for their incredibly generous $25,000 donation towards sensory modulation kits for Mental Health, Addictions and Intellectual Disability Services (MHAIDS).
These kits will help provide calming, supportive environments for people accessing mental health services across the greater Wellington and Wairarapa regions, including inpatient, outpatient and community settings.
Sensory modulation is a therapeutic approach that uses things like calming lighting, comfortable furnishings, weighted animals and other sensory tools to help people manage distress, regulate emotions and feel more settled.
This donation will help MHAIDS provide these resources in areas where they are needed most, supporting people through their mental health journey.
A huge thank you to everyone across Lions District 202M who has fundraised to make this possible, and to the wider community for getting behind these efforts. Your generosity continues to make a real difference for people across our region.
