About The Powerful Project

The Powerful Project partners with skilled, vetted clinicians who agree to work with our families at a reduced rate to help stretch donation dollars and family resources. This allows us to match children and families with some of the most dedicated and experienced professionals in the field. Our donor network is comprised of individuals, groups and businesses who believe in investing in humanity through the healing of our children. They are dedicated to removing financial obstacles to obtaining services. By having a number of disciplines and clinicians onboard we're able to fine tune and pinpoint the best interventions and supports needed and ensure funds are well targeted and utilized to their full potential.

Our goal is to make make ideal outcomes possible for children and families who need them most. In addition to working directly with families’ needs, we also provide an effective and direct outlet for those who want to support the community but have limited time, knowledge, or ability to do so effectively on their own.

“Connection: The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

~ Brene Brown

We have seen first-hand that families who are doing “just well enough” and “getting by” could be thriving if given the opportunity for therapeutic support and education. We believe there’s a group of people who are falling between the cracks: they do not qualify for government financial support and insurance does not provide enough help. They may find that insurance is unreliable and they do not have expendable income to invest in themselves or their children. Our practices and those of many other practices try to help by offering sliding scale, pro bono sessions. However, there’s a limit to how much can be offered this way.

The Powerful Project fills this gap by providing opportunities for healing and growth for children and families. On a personal level, and with the power of connection, we have an opportunity to not only change the life of individuals or families, but to make a lasting positive change in the world.
