Seek Institute wants to eliminate obstacles and make mental health care a right, not a privilege. But we need your help. Being underinsured or uninsured, living in a rural area with few resources or an area that has been ignored due to social injustices – there are too many reasons why people in our community cannot access mental health services. With your help, we can work to ensure that no one will be turned away from receiving restorative, curative, and at many times, life-saving mental health care. Please consider a donation to Seek Institute today.
