At Umeed, we believe that mental health care should be accessible, inclusive, and rooted in dignity — not something only available to the few who can afford it. This fund helps us extend care to those who are often left out of the system: migrants, international students, refugees, and people from culturally diverse and marginalised communities who deserve to be held and supported.

Because healing shouldn’t depend on your bank balance — and you shouldn’t have to choose between getting help and getting by.

• The fund grows through the profit from Umeed’s events and workshops
  

• 100% of profit from provisional psychologist sessions goes directly into the fund
  

• Donations and grants from individuals and organisations help keep it going

• We use the fund to offer partially or fully subsidised therapy for those experiencing financial hardship —this includes individual counselling, couples counselling, group therapy and psychological assessment

Every time you come to a Umeed event, book a session with a provisional psychologist, or donate, you’re not just accessing care — you’re helping someone else access it too. You become part of a shared movement to make mental health support more just, compassionate, and community-driven.

If therapy feels out of reach right now, we invite you to apply for support through the Community Care Fund. The form is short and straightforward — no need to prove anything or go into detail. Just let us know you need a hand, and we’ll walk with you from there.

The Umeed Community Care Fund is set to launch in March 2026, reaffirming Umeed Psychology’s unwavering commitment to making mental health care accessible, inclusive, and rooted in dignity. This initiative ensures that no one is turned away from support due to financial constraints, offering partially or fully subsidised therapy sessions to those in need.

To bring this vision to life, we are currently raising funds to seed the Community Care Fund. Every contribution—big or small—goes directly toward covering the cost of therapy for individuals and families facing financial hardship, particularly those from migrant, refugee, and culturally diverse backgrounds. Your support will help us bridge the gap between need and access, and ensure that culturally safe, affirming mental health care is never out of reach.

Join us in creating a community where care isn’t a privilege, but a right.
