Providing Free Therapy for Foster Youth
No-cost, lasting support for those impacted by foster care. Volunteer therapists that stay – for as long as it takes.
We seek to create and support lasting, caring relationships for individuals who have experienced foster care. A Home Within identifies, recruits, trains, and supports a network of licensed therapists who each provide free, weekly, one-to-one therapy to a single child, teen, or adult for as long as it takes.
If you’re a therapist and can offer one free hour of therapy each week to an individual with experience in foster care, we invite you to join the A Home Within community! Volunteers gain access to ongoing virtual clinical consultation, continuing education, and a variety of individualized professional development opportunities.
We provide open-ended, individual psychotherapy—free of charge—to current and former foster youth. If you’ve experienced foster care and are interested in receiving one free hour of therapy each week from an A Home Within-affiliated therapist, we encourage you to learn more about our network and services.
As the only national non-profit dedicated to mental health for people impacted by foster care, A Home Within is growing our impact:
It is one of the most rewarding experiences of my clinical career, and now, more than ever, the best antidote to helplessness in the face of social injustice I have found.

I am so thankful for this amazing program that has, and does, change my life. My therapist says what we don't treat we repeat, I'm not repeating any of these cycles.
