The organization caters to clients in Saginaw County regardless of their insurance status, including those with private insurance, Medicaid, or no insurance at all. Recently, Child and Family Services has expanded the Hope Fund's reach by collaborating with community partners, such as the Barb Smith Suicide Resource and Response Network and the Saginaw Police Department’s Victim Services Unit. This initiative aims to ensure that more individuals receive the necessary counseling services they may otherwise lack.
The Hope Fund works on a sliding fee scale to reduce counseling costs and offers financial support to offset out-of-pocket expenses when insurance does not fully cover mental health services.
