Silent Samaritans

Approximately 65% of the people who seek counseling services at the Samaritan Counseling Center are women. They are dealing with depression, the stresses of being a parent, a recent divorce, or financial vulnerability – and sometimes all at once. Of those women, nearly 70% cannot afford to pay for counseling services. That is why our Silent Samaritan Fund was created.

The tagline for the Silent Samaritan Program is Women of Strength helping Women in Need. Women from the community and local businesses contribute each year to this fund, which is set aside for women in need of counseling, but without the means to pay for it. These funds, designated for financially disadvantaged women, or women without health insurance coverage (or who have minimum benefits), allow us to provide assistance to hundreds of women in crisis. For every $150 donated, our counselors are able to provide approximately 5 hours of subsidized counseling.

If you are woman in need, struggling with difficult times or circumstances, please contact our office at 412.741.7430 to inquire about our services and whether you qualify for subsidized counseling. We understand your need and we are here to help.

And, if you are a woman of strength and means, please consider making a donation to the Silent Samaritan Fund by clicking the DONATE NOW button at the bottom of this page.

Your donation can help another woman reclaim her voice.
