The Maria Droste
Annual Gala Charity
Event in Denver

Raise a Glass and Funds for Mental Health!

Through our Annual Gala Charity Event in Denver, we honor community members dedicated to our mission, connect with those interested in Maria Droste, and raise funds to ensure we can continue serving Coloradans in need of therapy, regardless of ability to pay.

Thank you to everyone who made our first virtual gala a success in 2020! We are grateful for your continued support. Although we are not able to gather together in 2021 for the safety of our community, we have developed a new way to continue your support of Mental Health Access by becoming a Mental Wellness Champion.

Your help makes a difference

Maria Droste is able to offer affordable mental health services to the people who need it, because of the generous support from people like you. When you look at the various counseling services we provide and the outreach efforts like the Integrated Behavioral Health Care Program, you can see all the different ways your donation helps Coloradans in need. Thank you for making a positive impact in the lives of so many!

Join our Mental Wellness Champions!

According to the World Health Organization, mental wellness is defined as “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes their own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to their community.”

At Maria Droste Counseling Center we believe that everyone, regardless of their ability to pay, deserves counseling and mental health access. A partnership with Maria Droste Counseling Center builds trust and loyalty among your employees, customers, and community. Plus, you’ll receive partner benefits such as a blog post highlighting your organization and a 1-hour consultation with our CEO.

Mental Wellness Champions play a vital role in the fight against mental health stigma and for equitable, high-quality mental health care for our friends, neighbors, and community through monetary donations, volunteerism, leadership, and in-kind donations.
