Free therapy initiatives are important because it provides essential mental health support to individuals who may otherwise be unable to afford it. Philanthropy geared toward mental health, ensures that everyone has access to the care and resources they need to navigate challenging times and improve their well-being without financial barriers. This fosters a more inclusive, supportive, and less lonely society where individuals can seek the assistance they require to cope with difficulties and thrive emotionally and mentally.
