Together, we’re making a difference across Texas
In collaboration with Safe Haven Counseling, this page is a response to connect those in need of counseling to funds for those services. Funds will be given to vetted trauma informed Texas providers who are offering sliding scale fees to meet the needs of hurting families and first responders around them.
Your tax-deductible donation helps us ensure Texans are connected to compassionate, competent providers who value linking arms to make an impact.
Services are available for children, teens, parents, and adults navigating grief and trauma.
