CARE Healing Fund
CARE recognizes the importance of mental health and well-being of survivors of sexual and interpersonal violence and abuse. The Healing Fund exists to alleviate the financial burden of the impacts of trauma, allowing students to focus on their safety, wellbeing, and academic success. You can access the application by connecting with an advocate at ksucare@ksu.edu today.
The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) has sponsored the CARE office with funds to establish a Healing Fund that provides financial assistance to Kansas State students and staff members. Access to the Healing Fund is contingent upon approval of VOCA funding and is subject to change. The CARE Healing Fund is available to only:
- Students enrolled in classes
- K-State employees
Students, staff, and faculty will receive funding towards the cost of therapy/mental health services based on factors like financial need and insurance. You must meet with a CARE advocate in person or remotely prior to accessing the CARE Healing Fund. The letter is only valid if signed by the Director or an advocate.
Funding is paid directly to service providers and is not subject to reimbursement. CARE will not be billed for cancelled or missed sessions or late fees. Sessions do not need to be used consecutively.
New service for fall 2026 and spring 2027: Students who receive support through the Healing Fund have the option to meet with our Healing Fund Intern, Lily, if she has availability on her caseload as part of a partnership with the K-State Family Center. Lily is a therapist intern in the Couples and Family Therapy program at Kansas State University. Students who choose to work with Lily will attend therapy sessions in the CARE office during regular office hours.
