Counseling Connections is excited to host a Depressed Cake Shop pop up in Brazoria County, and we are grateful to The Drink Station Pearland for providing a great location for this fun event.

The Depressed Cake Shop is a one day, pop up bakers designed to raise awareness of mental illness through the sale of custom-made cakes, cookies, and other treats, all donated by local bakers.

These special baked goods are often gray on the outside and colorful on the inside, reminding people that mental illness can cast a gray cloud over a beautiful world. One in four of us will suffer from, or be touched by, a mental health issues in our lives.

All proceeds will benefit the mental health services of Counseling Connections. During 2017 they served a total of 690 clients with 4,676 service hours. They provided $179,861 in discounted or free services.
