We partner with the most qualified clinicians in the community and place clients within our program in existing private practices around town, with the nonprofit covering the cost of the counseling sessions on the behalf of the families receiving services.
Your donation to our organization helps to directly fund more therapy sessions for more families, with a minor portion of donations going to help cover administrative and operational costs to maintain the nonprofit's community educational and outreach programs.
The HeadFirst Mental Health Initiative (HMHI) was established to raise public awareness of the current mental health crisis in the Dallas and surrounding areas and provide mental health education and services to those most in need.
We are currently in need of funding to continue providing free mental health counseling to families in our program.
With continued donations, we will be able to move more clients off of our waitlist and place them with experienced clinicians in the community who are eager to help but can not afford to take on clients pro bono.
Your donation helps cover the cost of the therapy session so that the clinician continues to be paid a living wage, and the funding from the nonprofit covers the cost of therapy for the family, thus ensuring the treatments are free to families within our program.
Continued funding will also help us pay an equitable wage for administrative, operating, printing, and marketing costs to keep our nonprofit going and increase our visibility in the community.
Due to our sustainable system of placing families within our program with existing therapists in the community, we are able to dramatically reduce our overhead costs so that the vast majority of charitable donations go directly to funding therapy sessions for families who would otherwise not be able to afford them.
