RMBI Scholarship Treatment Fund Program
Thank you for your interest in RMBI’s Scholarship Treatment Fund (STF). The goal of the program is to help provide some Brainspotting therapy sessions free of charge to clients of limited financial means.
RMBI will refer eligible applicants to a therapist trained in Brainspotting and cover the costs of a course of up to 10 sessions. Clients are asked to identify one primary issue that they would like to focus on during the treatment. Please note that if clients wish to continue working with the therapist beyond the initial course of treatment, they are responsible for covering associated costs. RMBI will not be able to fund the same client more than once through this program.
The Scholarship Treatment Fund is meant to cover care for those who do not have insurance or the means to pay for therapy. Please read the following qualification criteria carefully before you apply.
RMBI ACCEPTS SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO:
- Are uninsured, underinsured, or whose insurance does not provide mental health coverage; and
- Demonstrate financial need and are not eligible for Medicaid; and
- Are located within the United States.
(Please note our ability to match you with a practitioner may be determined, in part, by practitioner’s licensure to practice in your state.)
RMBI does not provide scholarships to anyone who is currently enrolled in Medicaid or whose current monthly income meets the eligibility to enroll in Medicaid. There are Brainspotting professionals who accept Medicaid. Because there is no limit on the number of sessions available to a Medicaid recipient, we strongly encourage anyone who is eligible for Medicaid to enroll in that program.
Medicaid eligibility varies by state, so please check your current state requirements. For example, current Medicaid enrollment information for folks living in Colorado can be found at: https://www.healthfirstcolorado.com/
If you are currently enrolled in Medicaid and are looking for a Brainspotting practitioner, please contact RMBI and we will happily refer you.
If you are interested in participating in the Scholarship Treatment Fund program, we ask you to complete the online application form linked below. If you are unable to fill out the form online, you can print it out and send it by email to [email protected]
The Board of Directors reviews STF requests at our monthly meetings. If you qualify, we will contact you to match you with a therapist. You will be asked to pay a $50 deposit, which is refunded once you complete the program and complete your final post-treatment survey 6 months after finishing treatment. You must complete your 10 sessions within three to six months of starting therapy.
Scholarships are awarded as funds are available.
