IMPORTANT

If you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 988 or 911, go to your nearest emergency room, or or reach out to a local support center in your area. Suffer Out Loud does not provide crisis services, and we cannot provide rapid responses to phone calls or emails regarding mental health crises.

Overview

This program helps more Montanans afford and access mental healthcare. Since 2019, we have awarded over 250 scholarships that have covered most or all of the cost of 12 sessions with a licensed professional.

However, the need for this support has consistently outpaced what we can fund, and at the end of 2024 there were over 100 people on the program’s waitlist.

We made the difficult decision to pause accepting more people on the waitlist to focus on awarding scholarships to those who had been waiting for too long.

During this time, we formed new partnerships with providers who are pre-licensure, and/or those who offer sliding scale services. This partnership helps us award more scholarships to more Montanans, more quickly without compromising the care people receive.

Questions?

Any and all questions are welcomed, and can be sent to Erika, our Scholarship Program Manager at scholarships@sufferoutloud.org or Rachel, our Executive Director at rachel@sufferoutloud.org.
