Free Therapy for Black Women & Girls
A few months ago, a potential client reached out to my office to learn if we would accept “Loveland vouchers” for therapy. My receptionist, who had never heard of this organization, reached out to me to ask if this was something we accepted. Given that I had never heard of it before, I decided to do some research; and boy am I glad that I did!
I was pleasantly surprised to read what the Loveland Foundation was about:
“Loveland Foundation is committed to showing up for communities of color in unique and powerful ways, with a particular focus on Black women and girls.
“With the barriers affecting access to treatment by members of diverse ethnic and racial groups, the Loveland Therapy Fund provides financial assistance to Black women and girls seeking therapy nationally.”
Yes, you read that right!
Are you a black woman or girl? Then this organization enables you to obtain vouchers to get FREE therapy services in your community. You can receive at least 4 vouchers and up to 12 (distributed in sets of 4) that can be used with therapists on one of the directories listed on their FAQ page here or with any therapist in your community who accepts the voucher.
Want to Apply?
All you have to do is fill out their Therapy Fund Signup Form here.
Now here is the downside: Their form opens on a quarterly basis. Specifically, their website states, “Upon signing up, you can expect to receive a follow-up email within three weeks. If the form is closed when you visit, no worries, add your email and we’ll notify you when it reopens.”
I can’t emphasize this enough! Don’t give up if their form is closed! Sign up to get notified when the form has reopened.
Want to Give Back?
What if you’re so grateful that you want to make a donation? Or what if you’re not in need of therapy services but still want to help others in your community? Then you can donate to this fund in multiple ways. According to their website you can:
-

I was motivated to write this post for one and one reason only: I don’t want anybody, but especially black women or girls to miss out on an opportunity to obtain therapy/mental health services due to lack of funds. Please share this post to enable the black women/girls in your community to learn about and apply to this therapy fund to get the financial assistance they need to take care of their emotional health today.
