How You Can Help

School-Based Behavioral Health is 100% supported through philanthropy! We look to partners who believe we must remain committed to bringing healthcare directly to children within the comfort and security of their schools.

Total Program Costs for 2023: $835,000

Therapy Sessions: $795,000 (1,274 hours)

Technology: $25,000

Supplies and Operations: $15,000

In order to continue bringing therapy services to children within schools, we need continued support from our community partners.
