Our mission

is to break down the financial barriers preventing people with severe mental illness from accessing the care and support they need.

We envision

a system of cost-effective care options for every patient suffering from severe mental illness, providing support in hospitals, at home, and in their daily lives.
​The Living Assistance Fund (LAF) was established in partnership with nationally ranked McLean Hospital.  In 2017, The Living Assistance Fund has provided the financial support to establish a Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) at McLean Hospital that is incorporating patient-centered care and Open Dialogue principles. In addition, this new program includes a scholarship bed providing free support 365 days a year. The entire program is more affordable than most and strategically focusing on avenues to seek health insurance reimbursement in the future.
