Breaking Free Foundation Direct Billing - Therapy, Counselling, and Assessment Psychologists

In a world where trauma can shatter lives, organizations like the Breaking Free Foundation (BFF) stand out as beacons of hope and healing. Founded with a mission to provide survivors of traumatic life events with the treatment and support needed to reclaim their lives, BFF has become a vital resource for individuals seeking to break free from the grips of trauma.

Central to BFF’s initiatives is the Therapy Grant Program, designed to make trauma healing more accessible for individuals in Alberta, Canada. This program reflects BFF’s commitment to removing barriers to treatment, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder access to essential therapeutic services.

The Therapy Grant Program provides approved candidates with financial support to undergo trauma-informed therapy. Each recipient is eligible to receive up to $750 towards therapy sessions, with a lifetime maximum of $1,500 per client. This funding is directly paid to provincially certified therapists, covering various trauma-informed therapies such as psychology, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), equine therapy, art therapy, and more.

The application process is straightforward yet thorough, requiring candidates to submit a completed application form along with a fee quote from their chosen therapist. Once approved, payments are disbursed directly to the therapist, ensuring seamless financial support for clients embarking on their healing journey.
