Highly Sensitive Persons or HSPs are 15 to 20% of the population who feel keenly, process deeply, pick up on subtleties, and often have a heightened level of awareness and empathy beyond the majority of people. 50% of people seeking mental health support are HSPs, yet the current system does not work well for many of them.

CATHARSIS has an exciting couple of months ahead. Green Hills Grille will host a CATHARSIS benefit dinner on Monday, November 30, from 4–9 p.m. Dine in or order takeout, and 10% of all revenue will be donated to CATHARSIS. We are excited to announce that this event and all donations received on Giving Tuesday and Giving Tuesday Eve will be TRIPLED thanks to two generous anonymous matching donors!

Additionally, Black Bird Media is giving CATHARSIS a full week of advertising leading up to giving Tuesday on The Nashville Sign, helping us spread the word throughout Nashville.

And our donations that week will multiply x 3!
