THERAPY FOR ALL
Making talk therapy more accessible.
“Thank you so much! I thought I was alone, but when I reached out, I found help! It means so much to me to know that I'm not alone going through this.”
Many have felt that therapy was a good investment. But even those whose care was covered in part by insurance reported concerns about continuing to afford it. The Big Silence strives to help everyone to have access to mental health resources.
THERAPY FOR ALL provides support for 1:1 talk therapy to those in financial need. We hope to grow the program and through donor support provide even more therapy grants. Please see our FAQs for more information about the program.
