This Mental Health Awareness Month, Samaritan Counseling Center Hawai‘i is asking for your help to raise $10,000 to help those in need—and ensure that every person who reaches out for help can receive professional, compassionate counseling—regardless of their ability to pay.

We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care. Yet for many in Hawai‘i, counseling remains financially out of reach. With your support, we can change that.

Just $175 sponsors a full counseling session for someone in need. Your donation directly funds therapy for individuals and families experiencing grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and other challenges.

Here’s how your gift helps:

A young man grieving the sudden loss of his mother found stability and hope through virtual counseling—made possible through this fund.
A bullied middle school girl with a visible medical condition gained confidence and resilience after free sessions with one of our therapists.
An adult client wrote:
"Experiencing conversations with such an empathic listener has exceeded my expectations. After each session I feel lighter, energized, and eager for my next talk with my counselor." – J

Your support brings healing within reach for people facing both emotional and financial hardship. In 2023 alone, 70–90% of our clients benefited from the Client Assistance Fund. With your help, we can serve even more.

Help us reach our goal of $10,000 – enough to fund over 50 counseling sessions for individuals who need them most.

Mahalo for being part of a compassionate community where mental health is a right, not a privilege.
