Care Packages That Bring Hope, Healing, and Human Connection
At Make Mental Health Matter, we create three specialized types of care packages designed to support individuals and families facing grief, recovery, or homelessness. Each package is intentionally crafted to provide comfort, practical resources, and a reminder that no one has to face challenging moments alone.
Carrie Cares Packages – Support After Suicide Loss
Our Carrie Cares Packages are created for individuals and families grieving the loss of a loved one to suicide. Each package includes comforting items and mental health resources that help survivors feel supported, understood, and connected during an incredibly painful and isolating time. These care packages offer a compassionate touchpoint for suicide loss survivors throughout Colorado and beyond.
Recovery Care Packages – Encouragement for the Healing Journey
Designed for those working toward recovery from addiction or mental health challenges, our Recovery Care Packages provide encouragement, essentials, and supportive tools that reinforce healing and resilience. We currently deliver these packages to our partner recovery centers across Colorado, helping clients feel seen and supported as they rebuild their lives.
Homeless Care Packages – Essential Support for Those Experiencing Homelessness
Our Homeless Care Packages are created specifically for individuals experiencing homelessness in Colorado. Each package includes practical essentials, hygiene items, and comfort-focused supplies to support basic needs while also restoring dignity and reminding recipients that someone cares about their well-being.
Carrie Cares Packages
Our Carrie Cares Packages offer gentle support for those grieving a suicide loss or caring for someone after a suicide attempt. Each package includes comforting items, mental health resources from trusted partners, and a handwritten note to help recipients feel seen and supported. Packages can be sent anywhere in the U.S., and you may choose between “Loss by Suicide” or “Supporting After a Suicide Attempt.”
Optional Add-On: Personalize the experience with an embroidered blanket featuring your loved one’s name, dates, and an image for an additional $25.
