Wellspring: A Community of Support
A number of churches in our community have recognized the connection between mental health and challenging life circumstances and the financial strain these situations can place on individuals and families. Together, they have formed Wellspring, a collaborative initiative to provide a safe and supportive space for those seeking mental health assistance, regardless of their ability to pay.
Financial Barriers to Healing
We understand that the cost of counseling can be a significant barrier to receiving the help you need. If finances are preventing you from accessing mental health services, Wellspring is here to provide financial assistance to help offset the cost of counseling.
Insurance and Medicaid/Medicare
Our counselors will work with you to determine if your health insurance plan, Medicaid, or Medicare covers mental health services. If you have coverage, we will assist you in navigating your benefits. If you are uninsured or underinsured, Wellspring can offer financial assistance to help with co-pays or to cover a portion of the counseling costs.
Taking the First Step
If you are facing difficult circumstances that are affecting your mental health, please know that you are not alone. Wellspring is here to provide support and resources to help you on your journey towards healing.
