our mission
The Alana Faith Chen Foundation provides financial support to LGBTQ+ who are at risk of suicide so that they can receive the mental health treatment and therapy they need on their path to healing.
We especially fight for LGBTQ+ who have suffered from conversion “therapy”, religious abuse, shame by their church, community, or another institution.
“It is my dream and will be my life’s work to help empower those who are oppressed and marginalized to find freedom, to find healing, and to find a voice. Adventure therapy, art therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy were all paramount in my recovery and healing, and I am hoping to specialize in those areas when I become a counselor. It is my hope to somehow help make access to quality mental health services more accessible and affordable.”
