The Therapy Fund
This program is now LIVE! For more information for funding please click here!
The Therapy Fund was created to help cover the cost of Therapy for Black Women, Women of Color, and Youth of Color. These funds are not limited to Black Women or Women/Youth of Color. But we will prioritize Black Women and Women/Youth of Color. Although, we are based in Northwest Arkansas we also reserve a handful of funds for Black Women and Women/Youth of Color outside of Northwest Arakansas.
Remember these words of Dr. Maya Angelou, " There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you."
Tell your story... find your words.
The Need
This Counseling Voucher program will allow for Black Women, Women of color and youth to apply to the Therapy Fund as long as funds are available.We believe that this program could meet the needs locally and nationally for women of color and youth who need counseling but are struggling financially to access it. This program will prioritize women of color who apply but is not limited to women/youth of color only.
The Process
A woman or youth who identifies as Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian-Pacific Islander community seeking counseling can apply to our Counseling Voucher Program. They will provide basic demographic information, presenting issues for seeking counseling, and answer a short questionnaire regarding their hope for having therapy from another woman who shares their ethnic identity in the community.
As an organization, we will vet any therapist to ensure they are licensed with the board of Arkansas. We will also send a follow up survey to the woman seeking counseling in order to see if the client continued with services.
