  • Quarterly grants to cover 1-2 months of counseling with a licensed professional.

  • Assistance with covering prescription costs on an interim or emergency basis. Grants for therapy also include costs for medications if prescribed.

  • Professionally facilitated support groups for general mental health and specific conditions.

  • Scholarship opportunities for rising mental health care professionals of color to support the demand for professionals with unique perspectives and lived relatable experiences.

How Recipients Are Selected

At MentalBlkMom, Inc., we believe access to mental health care shouldn't be delayed by red tape, financial strain, or confusing insurance hurdles. Our Therapy & Prescription Assistance Grants is designed to support mothers and women in Georgia who find themselves in that difficult “in-between” space — where they want help, but can't afford to start, continue, or manage their care.

Who We Prioritize

While we wish we could support every applicant, our ability to award grants depends on available funding. To ensure equitable distribution, we prioritize recipients based on the following criteria:

  • Georgia-based applicants (our primary service region)

  • Lack of insurance or recent loss of mental health coverage

  • Financial hardship, including low or unstable income

  • Single mothers and primary caregivers

  • First-time therapy seekers unsure where to start

  • BIPOC women and mothers, particularly those facing cultural or systemic barriers

  • Urgent or emerging mental health needs, such as postpartum challenges, anxiety, ADHD, depression, or trauma

Each application is carefully reviewed, and if the volume exceeds current capacity, we use this criteria to determine eligibility and impact.

This program was created to bridge the gap before a crisis happens — for the women who lay in bed wondering how they’ll afford care… who hesitate to reach out because they "aren’t sick enough"… or who quietly carry the weight of burnout, grief, or shame.

We see you. We’ve been you. And we’re here to help.
