Holidays from the Heart

Holidays from the Heart graphicDue to the stigma of mental illness, persons with mental health diagnoses are often overlooked where holiday giving is concerned. The “Holidays from the Heart" campaign is determined to change that.

The holiday gift campaign will provide gifts for all UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital inpatients, from children and adolescents through seniors, as well as for patients at our residential facilities.

Suggested age-appropriate items include:

  • Blankets
  • Socks with grippers
  • Gloves
  • Hats
  • Coats
  • Puzzles
  • Stress balls
  • Crayons
  • Drawing pads
  • Coloring books
  • Modeling clay
  • Card games
  • Board games
  • "Thinking" putty
  • Journals
  • Large print paperback books
  • Adult-size clothing
