Since its launch in March 2020, Intellihelp has delivered essential food, hygiene products, cleaning supplies and over the counter medications to vulnerable households around the world…
No Barriers has been helping people to break through challenges, build community and find strength through adversity for nearly twenty years. Its members gain hope, optimism and resiliency – the first steps in changing one’s life for the better.
By augmenting our program to first feed their bellies, then feed their spirits, we will help members cope with the psychosocial impacts of the pandemic, which currently impede their ability to pursue solutions. This approach supports the person holistically, reducing the threat of food insecurity while encouraging self-sufficiency.
This program will bring help and hope to thousands- an incredibly powerful combination. Just as a family benefits from the groceries and basic necessities which launched the Intellihelp mission, the whole family will now be lifted by the optimism and hope delivered through our holistic No Barriers support program.

“You didn’t need a crystal ball to forecast that the COVID-19 pandemic would devastate mental health. Illness or fear of illness, social isolation, economic insecurity, disruption of routine and loss of loved ones are known risk factors for depression and anxiety. Now studies have confirmed the predictions. But psychologists say the findings also include surprises about the wide extent of mental distress; the way media consumption exacerbates it; and how badly it has affected young people.”
