Double Your Impact with a $25,000 Matching Gift
Every gift this summer will be matched up to $25,000 thanks to the generosity of Linda and Mike Mansperger.
Ten years ago, Samaritan launched its internship program to help address the shortage of qualified mental health professionals in our community. Today, that vision has grown into a thriving workforce development program that provides graduate students and interns with clinical training and supervision while expanding access to affordable mental health care.
Since 2016, 14 counselors have completed the program, providing more than 10,000 reduced-fee and pro bono counseling sessions.
Make your gift today and help us meet the $25,000 match!
