Please consider including an additional donation for Sana Healing Collective’s Community Care Fund. Through our Community Care Fund, we aim to bridge the gaps left by the divestment from mental health in our city. We are particularly focused on providing healing and services to those who have been acting in service to our community through community organizing, mutual aid, and radical social justice work. Through the Sana CCF, we can provide low-cost and sliding-scale KAT (and eventually other psychedelic-assisted therapies when available to us) to people who otherwise would not be able to access such novel mental health treatment due to cost and other systemic barriers.
