The biggest barrier to mental health care today isn't stigma — it's cost.
We help people afford consistent therapy by covering the gap between what they can pay and what it actually costs.
$50 covers one therapy-session gap.
Mental health disorders are up to twice as common among people facing financial hardship — yet cost is the #1 reason care gets delayed or dropped.
The data behind the gap:
Evidence indicates that mental health disorders are 1.5 to 2 times more prevalent among low-income populations.
In 2022, 2.1 billion people globally faced financial hardship, including 1.6 billion people living in poverty or pushed deeper into poverty due to out-of-pocket health expenses.
Here’s a concrete example of
what the gap looks like:
An average therapy session costs $85:
client pays $35 → MHI donors cover the remaining $50
The client keeps their therapist.
The therapist gets paid in full.
Nobody bears the cost alone.
No more hard financial conversations.
No more delaying therapy because of cost.
No more barriers to access.
Many people can afford part of therapy but not the full cost.
Your donation covers the difference so someone can receive the care they need.
