The Forward Foundation welcomes applications from mental health workers who are excited about our vision and mission! Our 501c3 nonprofit social enterprise exists to provide high quality, faith-based, research-informed mental health and wellness care. At the same time ,we are also committed to expanding access to care to those who cannot afford, or are not yet ready for clinical care. To accomplish this, we "equip the saints for service" (Eph 4:11-13) by teaching coaching skills to our partners in churches, nonprofits, mission orgs - anywhere there are christian communities committed to doing their faith by caring for and leading others well.
We have trained care leaders from Austin to Alaska to Antalya over the past 12 years, so that those who are struggling can connect with care resources in their existing community. For many, this is enough to help them stabilize and begin to grow, while others may be referred on to us, or another provider, for clinical care.
Our practice accepts most major medical insurance to help make care affordable for our clinical clients. As a practitioner, you will feel good knowing you are removing financial barriers to mental health support, while also being compensated fairly.
If you are thinking that insurance can be a pain to navigate - don't worry! We use an expert, full-cycle billing service to file claims for you with just a few clicks, and we will get you paneled with our list of preferred payers.
In short, The Forward Foundation is about providing excellent clinical care, developing our giftings, and joyfully training others to help people with the same help we have been given (2 Cor: 1:3-5). We strive to allow our team members space to pursue their passions and flourish within this framework, while honoring their personal calling and faith journey.
