Need Financial Assistance to Attend?

Please do not let financial difficulties stand in the way of your healing!

At Fortifyu, I believe in making my services accessible to all animal care workers, regardless of financial circumstances. I remember the days when even purchasing a sandwich for dinner might overdraw my bank account. I understand that financial barriers can make it difficult to access daily necessities, let alone the support and resources you need for mental health and wellness. That's why I'm committed to offering scholarship opportunities for my retreats and groups.

Whether you're interested in an upcoming wellness Retreat, future group or online course, an organizational workshop or any other future offering, I want to ensure you have the opportunity to participate.

If you are interested in attending an event, but in need of a full or partial scholarship, please take a moment to fill out the linked survey to indicate your interest in being considered for a scholarship.

Your well-being is my priority, and I want to support you in every way I can. I will do my best to provide support for those who indicate interest and a need for financial assistance. You must work or volunteer in animal care (vet med, sheltering/rescue, animal control, zoology, wildlife rehab, animal training/behavior, animal assisted therapy, or another animal care role).

Together, let's create a stronger, more resilient animal care community.
