CONNECT ·2024 Grants ChallengeEquitable Healing: Protecting Community Therapy Diversity
Mental health professionals are rapidly exiting private insurance networks, nonprofit counseling centers and government-funded mental health agencies due to burnout and pay inequity. This exodus disproportionately impacts LA’s historically marginalized communities by leaving them without access to culturally-affirming care. Open Paths Counseling Center will shift this paradigm by offering full-time, benefited, Public Service Loan Forgiveness-eligible employment to our diverse team of therapists in an environment that supports their wellbeing.
