The Healing House Fund
This Fund is here for you to access - so please do!
At The Healing House, we believe that healing practices (psychotherapy, psychiatry, massage, acupuncture, etc.) should be a basic human right. Yet they are often cost-prohibitive due to barriers created by economic injustice.
The Healing House Fund seeks to reduce cost barriers by utilizing contributed funds to supplement people’s session fees for services accessed at or in association with The Healing House.
If you would like to access the fund, please talk with your provider, and they will get you set up!
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can access the Fund?
The Fund is available for services accessed in association with The Healing House. We give priority to clients and practitioners who identify as IBPOC, LBGTQ+, and womxn, as they have historically been and are presently most impacted by economic injustice.
How do I access the Fund?
We are so glad you asked! Please talk with your practitioner, who can then make a request to access the Fund. We trust you on your honor and do not require proof along with the request.
How does it work?
Anyone and everyone can contribute to the Fund. Practitioners associated with The Healing House (Lessees and Collaborative Members) can then request funds to help supplement session fees. We wish we had unlimited funds that necessitated no parameters at all. Alas, since that is not the case, we are trying to manage the Fund in an equitable and just way, with respect to its ebbing and flowing nature. We are very open to suggestions for how to do this better!
How do you decide who gets to access the Fund?
We trust people to be honest about their financial need, and we trust our practitioners to discern whether the Fund would be helpful. When a practitioner makes a request, we compare the request to current funds, and allocate as we are able.
Is this charity?
In a word, no. The Healing House Fund is inspired by mutual aid, a way of sharing resources out of solidarity, not charity. We all have areas of need. We all have resources to share to help our fellow humans get their needs met. We contribute, not donate. We respect, not rescue. Mutual aid is also a way to enact economic justice and actively practice anti-racism, anti-caste’ism, Queer alliance, and destigmatization + decolonization of mental health.
