Recently, a client facing disability income and unexpected medical costs believed therapy had to end. Instead, one OBHAW team member patiently guided them through financial assistance options, helped complete paperwork from a mobile phone, and followed through until approval was secured. 💙

Today, that individual continues their mental health journey without added financial burden.
