Pay What You Can

 GHF understands that everyone’s situations are different and we believe in the empowerment of the community and its members to work hard and thrive in their labor. With this in mind, we offer a “Pay What You Can” service for individuals who can pay something, if not the original rate, for mental health care. Individuals and families who are receiving this service may visit with a GHF counselor for a total of 6 sessions. 

“Pay What You Can” services are based upon a counselor’s availability and a minimum of $5 must be agreed upon when accepting this option.
