Unmet Needs — Let Us Help

Let's get you to the place where you can effectively learn by stabilizing your basic needs first. It's very hard to learn from a place of fear, and we don't want you there. Let's empower you to get your needs met so that you can learn from a place of expansiveness and not a place of fear.

This form is for practical stuff — housing, food, work, benefits. You do not need to explain what you are feeling.

If you need a place to put your feelings, we have one. The Pit lets you post anonymously — people can read it, but nobody comments. The Void goes nowhere at all.

We are not therapists. This is just a place to let it out.

This is not an application.

We are not a social services agency. We are a community of people who care about each other and try our best to help. There is no approval process and nothing to qualify for. We have limited resources, so we can not always solve every problem, but we will do what we can.

We are not able to:

  • Give out cash (our scholarship program is an in-kind donation to the community, not a cash reserve)
  • Place you in housing or shelter
  • Give you food directly
  • Assign you a case worker or therapist
  • Guarantee one-on-one help

What we do:

  • Connect you with programs and services that can help
  • Put you in a group of people working on the same problem
  • Share what others have learned
  • Help you stay on track
  • Get a real person involved if your situation is urgent

Are you safe right now?

If you are in danger, that is more important than this form. You can keep going either way.

Are you in immediate danger?

What do you need help with?

Pick the one that feels most urgent. We will ask a follow-up question on the next screen.

Check everything that applies

Pick all the areas where you need help, then tell us which one is most urgent right now.

Which best describes your situation?

Pick the one that is closest. This helps us send you the right information.

How to reach you

We need this so we can send you resources and follow up. We are a small community school, not the government. Your information is not shared with anyone outside our team.

What kind of help would be most useful?

There is no wrong answer. This helps us decide what to send you and whether to connect you with a person.

Does this look right?

You can go back and change anything.
