Your donation is in good hands.

Your donation directly helps provide trauma-informed healing resources, personal development services, and transformative experiences for underserved young adults participating in the Travel Through Trauma program.

Depending on the participant’s level of financial need, donations may help fund therapy sessions, wellness coaching, financial education, self-defense training, cultural learning, travel preparation, international travel expenses, post-program mental health support, and overall program coordination.

Every contribution helps make life-changing support more accessible to individuals who may otherwise never have access to these types of resources and experiences.

The estimated value of services, support, resources, and travel experiences provided through the Travel Through Trauma program exceeds $13,000 per participant.

This includes therapy, coaching, wellness services, travel support, post-program mental health resources, clinical oversight, and individualized participant coordination throughout the 17-week experience.

Because we use a sliding scale model based on financial need, donor support plays a critical role in helping subsidize costs for participants who may not otherwise be able to access the program.

Yes. Travel Through Trauma is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

After donating, donors will receive a confirmation receipt for their records. We recommend consulting a qualified tax professional regarding individual tax questions or eligibility.

Donated funds are used to support participant services, program operations, travel experiences, educational resources, mental health support, and overall organizational sustainability.

This may include therapy services, wellness programming, participant subsidization, travel expenses, post-program support resources, administrative infrastructure, technology systems, volunteer coordination, outreach efforts, and program development.

We are committed to using donations responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with our mission to expand access to healing and empowerment resources for underserved young adults.

Yes. Donors and sponsors may contribute toward the overall cost of supporting a participant through the Travel Through Trauma program.

Because we prioritize participant privacy, safety, and fairness, sponsorships are generally directed toward the program as a whole or toward participant subsidization funds rather than toward selecting specific individuals.

If you are interested in larger sponsorship opportunities or funding a significant portion of a participant’s journey, we would be happy to discuss customized partnership opportunities. Please email info@travelthroughtrauma.org for more information.

We welcome partnerships with aligned organizations, businesses, nonprofits, wellness professionals, mental health providers, travel companies, educators, and community leaders who believe in our mission.

Partnership opportunities may include financial sponsorships, in-kind donations, professional services, fundraising collaborations, educational workshops, wellness resources, travel support, marketing partnerships, or long-term community initiatives.

We are especially passionate about building mission-aligned relationships that help expand access to healing, empowerment, education, and transformational experiences for underserved young adults.

There are many meaningful ways to support our mission beyond financial contributions.

Supporters may volunteer their time, offer professional expertise, assist with fundraising efforts, help spread awareness online, introduce potential sponsors or partners, contribute in-kind resources, attend events, or advocate for mental health and trauma recovery within their communities.

Every form of support helps us expand our reach and impact.

We are always looking to build meaningful partnerships with businesses and organizations that align with our mission and values.

Companies may support Travel Through Trauma through financial sponsorships, employee volunteer opportunities, in-kind donations, fundraising collaborations, event sponsorships, wellness resources, travel-related support, or long-term strategic partnerships.

If your company is interested in collaborating with us, we would love to connect and explore ways we can create meaningful impact together.

Estimated Program Value ($14,000+)

While participants may only contribute a fraction of the overall cost depending on their support tier, the true value of the Travel Through Trauma program exceeds $14,000 per participant through a combination of professional services, wellness resources, mentorship, and international travel experiences.

Included Program Components per Client:

• 12 Therapy Sessions (licensed mental health professionals) — ~$2,700

• 8 Health & Fitness Coaching Sessions — ~$1,200

• 4 Self-Defense Training Sessions — ~$500

• 6 Financial Coaching & Education Sessions — ~$1,800

• 3 Life Coaching & Integration Sessions — ~$750

• 4 Language & Cultural Learning Sessions — ~$240

• 2-Week International Solo Travel Experience — ~$3,000 (flights, lodging support, transportation, excursions, travel resources, and spending funds)

• 3 Months of BetterHelp Therapy Access After Graduation — ~$1,200

• 3 Months of Moodfit Premium Access After Graduation — ~$60

• Travel Coordination & Solo Travel Planning Support — ~$800

• Program Materials, Assessments, Journaling Resources & Administrative Support — ~$200

Exceeding $14,000, this cost reflects the true market value of these services if accessed separately. However, thanks to our subsidization model and donor support, many participants pay only a fraction of this cost—or nothing at all.

More Than Just Services

Travel Through Trauma is not simply a collection of classes or appointments. It is a structured healing and empowerment journey designed to help underserved young adults build confidence, emotional resilience, independence, life skills, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Our mission is to make transformational support accessible to individuals who may otherwise never have access to these types of resources and experiences.

Yes. In-kind donations and professional contributions can play an incredibly valuable role in supporting our participants and expanding the impact of our program.

Examples may include wellness services, therapy resources, fitness support, educational materials, travel products, technology, event support, photography, marketing assistance, professional consulting, or other mission-aligned services and resources.

If you believe your product, service, or expertise may be a good fit, we encourage you to contact us directly.

Travel Through Trauma uses structured weekly participant assessments throughout the program to monitor progress across multiple areas of mental, emotional, social, and physical wellbeing. We also conduct quarterly follow-up assessments for one year after program completion to better understand long-term participant growth and overall program effectiveness.

We evaluate areas such as emotional wellbeing, confidence, stress management, social connection, motivation, personal growth, resilience, and overall quality of life. Many of these metrics are informed by established international quality-of-life frameworks and evidence-based assessment principles, while also incorporating additional trauma-informed indicators tailored to our program model.

Our goal is to continuously refine and improve the program while ensuring participants receive meaningful, measurable, and lasting support.
