I’m forever grateful for the support that the Therapy Fund provided me. As a Black woman living with an invisible disability, receiving support from a trained and caring practitioner has helped me to process a great deal of trauma that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to process without the funding.

Therapy Fund Participant
The Therapy Fund is an amazing resource for multiply marginalized queer people! I've been going through a really hard time but was not able to afford mental health care. This fund made it possible for me to get support in a critical moment.

Therapy Fund Participant
Before I started coming to our sessions I never believed therapy would help. I was wrong! These sessions helped me connect to a part of myself I didn't even know existed

Urgent Community Response Group Therapy Participant
This was an amazing space to both create and connect. [The facilitators] did an amazing job of fostering a safe space of inclusion and openness. I am so glad I let myself trust the process, for the outcome was something I will cherish for years to come.

Therapeutic Role Playing Games Group Participant
Thank you so much for your support. I was going through an insurmountable hardship at the beginning of these sessions and without the financial support, I know I would not receive the proper care I needed. I am turning a corner in therapy as a result and am on a completely different track than when I started. I cannot thank you enough.

Therapy Fund Participant
This was most definitely a safe space. The patience, the gentleness, and dedication that was displayed was needed.

Urgent Community Response Group Therapy Participant
The Therapy Fund helped me stabilize myself in a time where literally every other aspect of my life was unstable. It made it possible for me to have consistent support as I navigated an incredibly challenge season of life.

Therapy Fund Participant
As I began navigating the sudden tragic murder of my companion of 19 years, this fund was a starting point to my grief/healing journey. After dealing with the physical, emotional, and mental stress of this tragedy, not having to worry about how I would pay for sessions has been so so helpful.

Therapy Fund Participant
Thank you for allowing us to have a safe space to share our stories

Urgent Community Response Group Therapy Participant
