Joyfulhope.org is a charitable organization that was created to help youth and young adults overcome depression through education and specialized counseling. When a potential beneficiary is a candidate for specialized counseling offered by the skillful folks at Pransky & Associates, but has limited financial resources to pay the cost, we'll consider requests for financial aid.

Prior to making a request for a grant the following steps must be completed:

1. A member of the youth's or young adult's family, such as a parent or guardian, must contact Michael Lantz. See his contact information below.
2. The potential beneficiary must have a consultation both with Michael Lantz and Erika Bugbee from Pransky & Associates.
3. The family must receive a referral from Erika Bugbee at Pransky & Associates.
4. The potential beneficiary must have a sincere desire to achieve well-being and show a willingness to work closely with their counselor at Pransky & Associates.
5. The potential beneficiary must show that they have hope that they have the ability to achieve their well-being.

Joyfulhope.org has limited resources and must be very prudent in protecting the funds that have generously been donated by kind and supportive donors. Because we have to protect our limited financial resources it is our philosophy that we'll never pay 100% of the cost of counseling.  We believe that a family will substantially improve their chances of overcoming depression if they have a personal financial stake in their own care because that will promote desire to achieve well-being.
