Services

We are committed to bringing hope, care, and support to individuals and families affected by mental illness and autism. Our services focus on raising funds and providing critical resources that improve lives and create pathways to healing and inclusion.

🌱 Overview of Services

We strive to bridge the gap between need and access. Through community support and generous donations, Matoc provides:

🧠 Mental Health Support

We fund access to counseling, therapy sessions, and wellness resources for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health conditions. Our goal is to reduce stigma and connect people with the help they deserve.

🧩 Autism Support Services

We assist families of children with autism by providing educational tools, therapy materials, and guidance to help them thrive. This includes speech therapy support, occupational therapy aids, and behavior development resources.

🎓 Special Education Tools

We help fund the purchase and distribution of essential special education items, including sensory tools, communication devices, and learning aids tailored to children with developmental challenges.

❤️ Medical Assistance

We raise funds to cover basic and critical medical care for individuals affected by mental health conditions or autism who cannot afford treatment. This includes diagnostic tests, prescribed medication, and follow-up appointments with healthcare providers.

🌍 Community Outreach

Our outreach initiatives focus on raising awareness, reducing stigma, and building inclusive communities. We collaborate with schools, local organizations, and caregivers to host workshops, seminars, and family events.

✔️ Eligibility & Requirements

We aim to support underserved individuals and families who lack the financial resources to access therapy, medical help, or special education tools.
To qualify for assistance, applicants must:

• Be a caregiver or individual affected by autism or a diagnosed mental health condition.
• Demonstrate financial need.
• Reside in Lancaster, PA or surrounding areas (or be referred by a partner organization).

Our intake process involves a brief application, optional referral from a medical or educational provider, and a short interview to understand each case individually.

📍 Service Locations

We currently serve families and individuals in the following areas:

As we grow, we aim to expand our support network to reach even more people in need, both locally and regionally.
