Pro Bono Counseling Project

The Pro Bono Counseling Project was created by the licensed mental health professional associations in Maryland to support the efforts of their clinicians who want to assist those who are unable to access mental health care; to equitably distribute these cases within the professional community; and to discreetly record and report data. Simply, our non-profit was created to provide a link between those who need and want mental health care and who are unable to afford it and those who want to provide it on a volunteer basis. The Pro Bono Counseling Project seeks to assist individuals and families that are low income, underinsured, and/or uninsured.

To date, more than 1,400 licensed clinical social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists, nurse psychotherapists and professional counselors have donated in excess of 58,000 hours of therapy to more than 13,000 Maryland families and individuals.

The Pro Bono Counseling Project has a variety of different programs that were created to meet the needs of specific populations. They include but are not limited to the Jean Steirn Cancer Program to assist cancer Patients and their love ones, Caring for the Caregivers, Private Counseling for Public Service (a Military Program for Service men and women and their love ones), Parenting Alone: Helping to Build Healthy Families, Transition and Depression: Elderly and Underserved, and Victims of Violence.
