Volunteer For Therapy (VFT) Fund
WHY IS THE VOLUNTEER FOR THERAPY (VTF) FUND AVAILABLE?
CRC believes that:
-
volunteer work brings a sense of accomplishment and self-worth,
-
that everyone deserves counseling help no matter how much money they have, and
-
Associates and Trainees have a tough financial road and would benefit from extra funds.
WHO IS TO FOR?
-
Couples who are struggling financially and need help with their relationship.
-
Couples going through divorce or separation are eligible.
-
Individual therapy does not qualify. Sorry!
HOW DOES THE VOLUNTEER PART WORK?
-
1 for 1: Each partner in the couple must volunteer for one hour (together or separately) for one hour of couple therapy.
-
Couples can earn up to 10 hours of subsidized therapy.
-
The couple needs to volunteer at least one hour each before starting therapy.
-
Volunteering can be virtual due to Shelter in Place.
WHO APPLIES?
The couple's therapist does using the form on the bottom of this page.
