Inner work is called “work” for a reason. It takes time, energy, and effort to heal from past experiences and grow into a healthy future. Better provides an avenue to start therapy, but that’s just the beginning. Recipients are expected to show up present, committed, and open to honest truths. Better cannot transport a person to their sessions, ensure a positive connection with a provider, or force applicants to have a willing heart. In this partnership, everything that happens beyond funding is the recipient's responsibility. However, that’s why we call it a partnership. There is an equal level of commitment on both ends. At Better, we believe women can do hard things and our part to play is in walking alongside them by providing financial support and community.
Recipients of the Better in 12 scholarship
will be provided with funds for 12 sessions of therapy to the professional counselor/therapist of their choice. Funds will be paid directly to the entity of the recipients choosing, as Better is the documented guarantor. Detailed requirements for receiving funds are outlined in the application.
