Our Mission

Desired Hope’s mission is to engage and support individuals, families, and communities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic or any other disaster.

Are you or someone you know affected by COVID-19 and wondering how best to cope or provide support? While we cannot always be physically present, we are here to support you or your loved ones through guidance, care, and connection.

Why We Exist

It is completely normal to feel worried during an epidemic. In 2020, researchers examined the impact of 21st-century viral epidemics on mental health. Their review, published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, found that epidemics can lead to a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In some cases, these effects linger long after the epidemic subsides.

It is against this backdrop that Desired Hope was established to provide support, care, and understanding during challenging times.

Online Counselling

Many people face challenges during the pandemic, and sometimes these challenges become overwhelming. You may experience anxiety, grief, depression, or persistent COVID-19 symptoms.

Counselling provides support by helping you find clarity and a path out of feelings of helplessness.

CBT is a scientifically validated treatment proven effective in managing numerous psychological problems and disorders. Our therapists use CBT techniques to help you manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a healthier way.

We provide social support through various means, helping people cope adaptively with stressors:

  • Emotional Support: We are good listeners, value everyone, and offer a shoulder to cry on.

  • Informational Support: We share advice, point individuals to expert resources, and provide useful guidance.

  • Tangible Support: We distribute donated resources to support grieving families and individuals in need.

  • Belonging Support: We create online spaces for social connection, offering one-on-one or group chats for those who feel isolated.
