Imagine being a teenager experiencing mental health challenges, being dropped off at an unfamiliar place with very few belongings, often everything you own in one bag. This is reality for many youth at Nexus Family Healing.
Upon arrival, our Nexus Family Healing team provides all the essential care our youth will need while in our care. Through our Comforts of Home Program, donors can help us upgrade our youths' experiences by buying items like soft sheets, fuzzy blankets, and fluffy towels - small comforts that help our clients feel valued and supported during their healing journey. Your donation, whether monetary or through gifted items, helps transform a stark room into a nurturing space. Join us in bringing comfort and hope to those who need it most.
Welcome to Wellness Bags
Welcome to Wellness Bags are for youth undergoing mental health treatment in long-term residential treatment facilities across Nexus Family Healing. When a youth arrives at one of our residential treatment facilities, they will receive a duffle bag full of comforting elements for their bedroom. Then once they graduate from treatment, they can take all of their new belongings with them.

These simple comforts, which most of us take for granted, mean the world to the youth we serve. To create the wellness bags, we ask that all items to be newly purchased, and complete with the following items. Each bag costs approximately $100 to $200 depending on where it is purchased.
- XL Duffle Bag (80L – 96L)
- Comforter set (washable, twin size)
- Bath towel and washcloth set (2 sets)
- Blanket (twin size)
- Sheet set (2 sets, twin size)
