Sliding Scale

We all come from different backgrounds and experiences of personal, collective and systemic privilege and oppression. We believe that everyone should have access to mental health and community support.

Our way of standing by this while at the same time offering our work in a sustainable way is through this sliding scale which is inspired by the one from the School of Lost Borders.

If you would like to access this please check the considerations below and during our consultation call ask about setting a sliding scale fee that feels adequate for you at this time. Please consider that there are limited spots.

Using the Sliding Scale

Consider contributing more if you:

  • have the ability to comfortably meet all of your basic needs

  • belong to a sponsoring organization or are employed full-time

  • have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money

  • travel recreationally

  • have access to family money and resources in times of need

  • work part-time by choice

  • own the home you live in

  • have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.)

Consider contributing less if you:

  • have difficulty covering basic expenses

  • are supporting children or have other dependents

  • have significant debt

  • have medical expenses not covered by insurance

  • are an elder with limited financial support

  • are an unpaid community organizer

  • have unstable housing and/or limited access to reliable transportation

  • have not taken a vacation or time off due to the financial burden
