our why…
The need for therapy is higher now than it has ever been. Over the last decade of operating Anchored In Hope therapy practice, Ashley recognizes the worth of high quality therapy services but understands that the need goes unmet for many people due to financial barriers of affordability. High deductibles and out of pocket maximums are often just too out of reach for so many individuals or families with therapy needs. Ashley believes that affording mental wellness should not be an added stressor or cause for worry. Ashley founded Enduring Hope Inc in 2023 as a non-profit with a mission to raise funds to grant mental health service scholarships to those in need of financial assistance. We challenge our community, state and country to better support mental health affordability and accessibility. Join us in our mission to give the gift of mental wellness, education and support to our community and beyond.
How does it work?
Revenue from our sloth encounters and classes as well as community bookings go toward Enduring Hope scholarship fund. We also host fundraising events and accept donations from generous people that feel led to contribute to our mission.
A person in need simply fills out and submits the scholarship application which will then be reviewed by our Board on Thursdays each week. Decision will then be communicated back to applicant along with details on how payment for services will be arranged. The therapy service provider will need to agree to payment terms as well and a release of information for the collaboration between the parties solely for will be acquired.
The approval process works similar to an Employee Assistance Program. Applicant will receive a number of sessions covered by Enduring Hope. The service provider will invoice Enduring Hope for session reimbursement. Enduring Hope will pay the service provider directly.
If more sessions are needed, the applicant will need to submit another application request for additional coverage approval. For this, Enduring Hope may request statement from service provider disclosing continued need estimate.
