Give Wellness

Help us fund our therapy, training and outreach programs.

Our HEART (Helping Everyone Access Resources for Therapy) program removes financial barriers and our TAPP (Therapy Assistance Partnership Program) meets clients through trusted organizations reducing barriers to care so that life-changing therapy is accessible to all in our community.

**Rose and Tonya’s Story
When Tonya, a single mom in Houston, heard her daughter Rose say, “I’m having thoughts of hurting myself,” she felt her heart drop. The weight of it was overwhelming. Money was tight, and she wondered how she could possibly afford counseling for her daughter.

But she remembered her church’s partnership with Fuller Life, which made it possible to get affordable, professional therapy right away. Because of Fuller Life’s HEART (Helping Everyone Access Resources for Therapy) Equity fund, the sliding-scale rate was something she could manage.

Within days, Rose was meeting with a Fuller Life therapist, with whom she immediately connected.

Week by week, she returned.
She began talking openly about her suicidal thoughts—the way they would sneak up on her, overwhelm her, or tell her things that simply weren’t true.

Together with her Fuller Life therapist, she practiced new ways to respond to those thoughts with awareness, compassion, and groundedness.
She practiced new ways to steady herself when those thoughts tried to pull her under.
She learned what was happening in her brain and body.
She learned she wasn’t alone.

And slowly, hope—and wellness—returned.

Tonya has her daughter back, and Rose is re-engaged in her life—back at school, reconnecting with friends, and creating art again.

And it all began because one partnership made therapy accessible when Rose and her mom needed it most.

Be well. Give wellness.
Your generosity helps reduce barriers, expand partnerships, and make access to therapy possible for families across Houston.
