How Second Wind Fund Works

Once SWF receives a referral, we promptly connect the referral source with a list of local, specialized therapists for the youth to choose from.

"Thank you so much for walking me through all the options that you offer! Your program was such a relief to us the last time we needed help with therapy, and it is amazing that you offer help connecting people to providers that accept their insurance. This was exactly what we needed right now. You all are absolute life savers. I can't thank you enough."
