Why Project Courage exists
We tell people to reach out.
What happens next matters.
“How will I take care of my family if I take time to get help?”
People who dedicate their lives to helping others can struggle, too. For someone working in behavioral health or addiction treatment, asking for help may come with fears about their career, their reputation, and their family’s stability.
Project Courage grew out of personal experiences of loss, and of watching people risk their income, insurance, and stability to seek treatment. Those experiences made the need for practical support impossible to ignore.
A group of us came together with a shared purpose: to help ease the financial pressures that can stand between someone and the help they need.
