Our Impact

Change Lives
Change Communities
  • 100 participants are currently active in the IPP program. They are receiving counseling services that are being carried out by licensed therapists who are trained in the gold standard in therapeutic modalities and who also offer culturally sensitive mental health counseling. This ensures that each participant is receiving high quality services that wouldn’t otherwise be available to them.
  • 86% of the IPP participants are receiving services at full scholarship. The remaining 25% are at a steep sliding scale rate.
  • 2.2 years is the average time in therapeutic services. *Treatment goals and progress determine the length of stay in therapy. This is in contrast to many community offerings that base treatment on a set number of sessions or specific timeframes such as 3-6 months. We want participants working towards sustainable and meaningful change. We know that this is only possible when goals and progress dictate the course of treatment.
  • 245 participants have been served since 2022 *IPP started gathering/tracking data in 2022
  • 15+ years of programming. We are excited to see what 15 more years will bring!
  • 24.3 average age of participants

In the therapist words

Because of the IPP program, one participant was able to remain in therapy for five years- the consistent, long-term support she had never had access to before. She entered care using unhelpful coping strategies, struggling with addiction and unstable housing. Through ongoing therapy, she was able to process childhood trauma and understand how it shaped her relationships and sense of safety.

Today, she is celebrating more than 2 years of sobriety and the longest period of job and housing stability in her life. She credits IPP with giving her the time, trust, and support needed to work through grief, loss, abandonment, trauma, and addiction- creating space for lasting healing and growth.

This is the impact of donor-supported care: when barriers are removed, transformation becomes possible.

In the words of IPP participants

IPP has been truly life-changing. Without this program, I wouldn’t have had an emotional outlet at all- because when you’re focused on survival, mental health often comes last. IPP made it possible for me to prioritize my well-being.

I’ve been part of IPP for four years, and I can honestly say I’ve never been happier. With the support of my therapist, I’ve overcome countless obstacles and built a healthier, more stable life. I am deeply grateful for the care IPP provides and for the opportunity to heal.

I was born and raised in a refugee camp and carried years of unaddressed trauma. Through IPP, I was finally able to talk about my childhood, my transition to the U.S., and the challenges of being a college student. This support helped me express my feelings, set boundaries, and begin healing. It has also helped me be successful in college. I am deeply grateful for this opportunity.
