Our Mission

To raise funds to expand access to counseling and psychoeducational services that promote mental wellness and healthy relationships.

Our Vision

A community where individuals, couples, and families have access to counseling and psychoeducational services that promote mental wellness and healthy relationships.

The Gap We Close

Why We Exist

"Sometimes the circumstances that make counseling more valuable are the same circumstances that make counseling harder to access."

Take job loss. Losing employment can bring uncertainty about the future, disrupt a person's sense of stability and identity, and place significant strain on emotional well-being and relationships. For some, managing those challenges is precisely where counseling can make a meaningful difference.

Yet the same job loss can also take away the financial resources that make counseling possible.

That's the gap Compassionate Edge Foundation exists to help close.

Our Connection

Built from firsthand experience.

Through the work of Compassionate Edge Counseling Services, we have seen how financial barriers can prevent people from receiving services that could make a meaningful difference in their lives.

A separate nonprofit organization

Compassionate Edge Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to raise charitable funds that help expand access to counseling and psychoeducational services.
