Hello Acacia Community,

As everyone adapts to the ongoing global crisis, we recognize the increased importance of Acacia Roots funding for students who cannot afford mental health services. When the crisis first hit, we had to pause all new applications and give our administrative staff time to handle insurance concerns, client questions, and schedule changes. Now that things have somewhat settled in a "new normal," we're working on opening the program back up. As we work through this process, know that we're thinking of you, planning for you, and committed to supporting as many students as we possibly can.

We'll update this page as we have new information to share with you all. Thank you and take good care!
