About Us
Making Mental Health Care Affordable Across Michigan
Michigan Minds Matter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to eliminating financial barriers to mental health treatment throughout Michigan. We provide direct financial assistance for therapy copays, counseling fees, psychiatric medications, and out-of-pocket mental health expenses for low-income individuals and families who cannot afford care.
Our Mental Health Mission
In Michigan, 421,000 adults cannot access needed mental health care, with 38.4% citing cost as the primary barrier. We bridge this gap by covering:
- Therapy and Counseling Copayments – Making weekly sessions affordable
- Out-of-Pocket Mental Health Expenses – Covering deductibles, coinsurances, and non-covered services.
- Ancillary Mental Health Costs – Coordination with partner organizations for things like transportation, medication assistance, and housing
Why Mental Health Financial Help Matters in Michigan
With 1,469,000 Michigan adults living with mental health conditions and over 4.2 million residing in areas with mental health professional shortages, affordable access to care is critical. Michigan Minds Matter partners with licensed therapists, counselors, and psychiatric providers statewide to ensure cost never prevents treatment.
Support Mental Health Access in Michigan
Every donation to Michigan Minds Matter directly funds mental health treatment for those who cannot afford it. Together, we’re building a Michigan where mental wellness is accessible to all, regardless of income. Join us in making mental health care a reality, not a luxury, for every Michigander.
