At WORTHY, we believe that everyone deserves access to wellness services, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we’re proud to offer our nonprofit program, The WORTHY Wellness Initiative, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to essential wellness services for those in need.
Our Worthy Wellness Initiative is more than just a program. It’s a movement designed to make wellness accessible to everyone. We believe that by empowering parents with the tools they need to care for themselves, they can lead happier, healthier lives. Our initiative is more than just a program — it’s part of our broader commitment to community wellness, designed to empower individuals and families with tools for better health. We incorporate a range of core services rooted in science-backed strategies, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Through membership options, sliding scale programs, and generous community support, we work to break down financial barriers and bring wellness within reach for all.
What is the WORTHY Wellness Initiative?
The WORTHY Wellness Initiative is on a mission to break down financial barriers and provide access to wellness services for individuals who might otherwise find them cost-prohibitive. Our initiative offers a range of programs designed to support those who meet specific income criteria, ensuring that everyone in our community can benefit from the services they need to thrive.
WORTHY Wellness Initiative Membership
For individuals who meet the income criteria, we offer the WORTHY Wellness Initiative Membership at WORTHY Self-Care Studio. This membership provides free access to CORE services, helping to alleviate the financial burden for those who need it most. In addition to core services, we help fund access to a variety of valuable wellness resources, including health coaching, nutrition consulting, and more.
Sliding Scale Program
For those who do not meet the income requirements for the WORTHY Wellness Initiative Membership, we offer a sliding scale program. This program is designed to accommodate your financial situation, offering memberships in 3-month increments. Every three months, we check in to see if your circumstances have changed. If they remain the same, we continue with the sliding scale arrangement. If your situation has improved, congratulations! We can transition you to a standard WORTHY membership.
