Dearest Friends and Family,

As many of you know, I'm on the path to becoming a licensed therapist (MFT), and as part of that journey, I'm training and earning my clinical hours at The Relational Center (TRC). TRC is an incredible place that offers psychotherapy services, psychiatric services, yoga, meditation, group therapy, and so much more to those in the community at a low sliding scale fee. Over 85% of our clients are at or below the poverty line. Our mission is to provide help and holistic treatments to those who cannot afford it and create a supportive  and collaborative community. 

I chose to do my clinical training at TRC because of its values and the many leadership opportunities I knew I would be able to pursue.

Especially in today's world, mental health support and outreach is more necessary than ever. Help people in difficult financial situations get the mental health support they need to rebuild their lives and become a participating member of their community. 

If you like The Relational Center's mission then please consider donating to this incredible non-profit organization this holiday season so that we can continue to provide transformative care for those in need. Think of it as sponsoring a patient! ANY amount makes a huge difference. 

Thank you so much.

Love,

Samantha

Every year we host a year-end appeal that offers our supporters one last opportunity to make a tax-deductible donation to The Relational Center before the end of the calendar year. Our goal for the 2018 year-end appeal is $30,000. These funds are critical for sustaining The Relational Center's community. With your support, we can continue to integrate individual healing and systemic cultural change through affordable comprehensive mental health services to low-income and marginalized folks. Help us build stronger, more empathic communities that can change the world!
