HOW YOU CAN HELP
While human compassion prompts all of us to want help for those who are hurting or hopeless, not all of us have the capacity to serve others as counselors or ministers. But your support of Richmont’s mission can assist those who are called to these roles by keeping the cost of their required education more manageable. Your contribution can also directly support the cost of counseling for people who cannot afford the treatment they need. Will you join us to bring more healing, restoration, and transformation to our community?
YOU CAN DIRECT YOUR SUPPORT
Bridge Scholarship Fund
Support scholarships for minority students in order to diversify the counseling profession and ensure that all those who need help can find a counselor with whom they are comfortable.
Tye '17 Compassion Fund
Many counseling students, in the course of their training, discover they have woundedness that needs to be healed. This fund provides financial support for Richmont students to pursue professional counseling while in their degree program.
Center for Play Therapy
Richmont is one of 29 centers for play therapy education in the country approved by the Association of Play Therapy. The need for counselors in Georgia trained to work with children and adolescents is great. Richmont is working to meet this need, and you can help!
Richmont Trauma Center
Many vulnerable, underserved people are in need of trauma-informed counseling, including survivors of sex trafficking or domestic abuse, veterans, and the chronically homeless. Your support enables our trained clinicians to serve these populations.
