Dwell with Dignity, a nonprofit founded by a Lakewood resident, designed and furnished a new mental health facility in Pleasant Grove.
The nonprofit designed and furnished the 9,000-square-foot facility for Community Does It, another Dallas-based organization. It was unveiled July 12, the first day of Amazon’s Prime Day event.
Amazon donated products from Texas-based small businesses and $50,000 to Dwell with Dignity to furnish the facility. Community Does It estimates that over 4,800 people this year will be served through the facility, which will offer affordable mental health services.
Dwell with Dignity designed 12 spaces including therapy rooms, a multi-use community room, a reception area, offices and more.
“The need for mental health services in underrepresented communities is dire,” Dwell with Dignity Executive Director Ashley Sharp says in a statement.
