counselors for access (CFA)
When counselors come together, access to mental health care expands.
Across Georgia, counselors are partnering with Cumberland Counseling Centers to ensure that individuals and families who could not otherwise afford care can receive high-quality counseling.
COLLECTIVE IMPACT
A collective of counselors giving just $54 per month can fund thousands of counseling sessions each year.
Specific Communities Served: Smyrna, Vinings, Marietta, West Cobb, Lawrenceville, Gwinnett, Cartersville, Buckhead, Atlanta
HOW IT WORKS
1
Counselors contribute $54 per month
2
Contributions go directly toward subsidizing counseling sessions
3
Clients receive the same high-quality care regardless of financial background
4
The result: more people receive meaningful mental health support
Just 100 counselors participating in CFA can fund more than 1,000 Sliding scale counseling sessions per year.
You are supporting access, without taking as big of a monthly hit yourself.
FEATURED COUNSELOR
A professional community creating access together.
Counselors join CFA because they believe access to care matters and because sustainable systems are stronger than isolated sacrifice.
WHY COUNSELORS JOIN
1
