Plano Women for Good
Why I joined... “I joined Mental Health Professionals for Good because of my passion for psychology and mental health. So many of the touchy topics in our society stems from unspoken, unresolved, or misunderstood challenges surrounding mental health and behavioral health. It's my goal to make an impact, big or small in the mental health community. It's my dream to impact the statistics surrounding mental health and change them for the better.”
Jes Tackett - What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversations.
Why I joined... “I'm interested in the next phase of mental health and physical wellness and the inclusion of peers in the industry. My life experience provides an insight into the underserved clients. I am able to connect, earn trust, and build relationships with clients through a shared walked path, enabling me to encourage, educate, and empower the client into advocacy for themselves and their children. Mental health services for children are more than providing therapy, mental health services for children is wellness for the family, understanding the Care Provider's current status and building from within ...”

Grapevine is a platform that provides our group with an online home that allows us to donate to a shared pool then collaborate to decide which nonprofits to give the money to. They also provide our group with free virtual event planning and hosting support, donation matching funds, and more!
At Grapevine our mission is to help grow the giving circle movement. In order to do that, we’re working to help launch giving circles in new areas and categories where they don’t exist already. That’s why we’re starting Mental Health Professionals for Good. As we develop this group, we’ll identify leaders within the group and help them maintain and grow the group over time.

The time commitment is as little or as much as you’d like. In general though, most members will spend about 5 hours per year participating in the group. This includes nominating and/or just voting on selected nonprofits once per quarter, as well as attending one-hour events each quarter (four per year), some networking events, and other opportunities to connect with other group members. However, there is no requirement to participate in the events. Additionally, we’d love to work with members interested in getting more involved to help lead and grow the group, which would require a few additional hours per quarter or year, depending upon your capacity.
We don’t charge any membership fees, but our payment processor charges a nonprofit discounted credit card fee of 2.2% + 30¢ per donation (3.5% for AmEx). If you’d like, you can leave an optional tip on your donation that supports Grapevine’s work.
Anyone who identifies as mental health professional is eligible to join. This can be for any business type, industry, position, or level. All are welcome!
We’ll reach out to you about the status of your membership within one week. If your membership is approved, we’ll send you the information for joining the group and adding your donation.
