Make an
impact today

Transparency note: While we deeply appreciate your support, contributions are not tax-deductible, as we operate as a for-profit S-corporation. Every contribution goes directly toward sustaining our mission and services.

Your contribution helps make equity a practice, not just a value—allowing TFDC to invest in people, learning, and community relationships even when insurance systems fall short.

• Expand access to short-term, low- or reduced-cost therapy and support spaces for individuals and communities affected by the structural barriers of racism, capitalism and patriarchy.

• Provide education, consultation, and support to schools and community organizations, offering trauma-informed guidance and care that meets people where they are.

Supporting Equity for Our Clinicians

Your contribution directly supports The Family Development Center’s equity work with, and for, our clinicians. As part of our commitment to equity, we prioritize employment structures that make it possible for clinicians, particularly clinicians of color, to work and thrive within systems shaped by long-standing disparities in pay, access to education, and generational wealth.

Unlike many mid-size group practices, TFDC is committed to providing salary, health insurance, PTO, retirement benefits, and training stipends. These supports are not extras—they are essential to building a stable, sustainable, and diverse clinical workforce.

Your contribution helps sustain The Family Development Center’s ongoing equity initiatives within the realities of being a revenue-based, insurance-reliant organization. While insurance reimbursement rarely covers the full scope of equity-centered labor, your contributions allow us to invest in work that is essential to our mission but often uncompensated.

• Stabilize clinician salaries and benefits, ensuring our staff can continue showing up for clients and communities even when insurance payments are delayed, denied, or unpredictable.

• Offer emergency and flexible support for clinicians, including schedule flexibility, caseload coverage, and emergency PTO during times of acute stress or crisis.

• Equity consultation and training with external consultants to strengthen culturally responsive, anti-racist clinical practice across the organization.

• Training stipends and paid learning time for clinicians to deepen their skills in equity-informed, trauma-responsive care.

• Stipends and support for interns and trainees, reducing financial barriers to entering the mental health field and supporting a more diverse future workforce.

Thank you for supporting a model of mental health care that centers people, relationships, and collective well-being.

Yes. Memorial contributions are a meaningful way to honor someone’s life while supporting care, community, and connection through TFDC’s work.
