Pro Bono Counseling has received a grant award from Qlarant Foundation to support its WARMLine. The mental health WARMLine provides on-demand, telephone based connection with a compassionate mental health professional. Callers who are expressing sadness, grief, worries, relationship stress, life transitions, and other mental health distress can call the WARMLine seven days a week, and talk directly with a mental health professional for brief support. The WARMLine addresses many common barriers to accessible mental health care including high cost, time constraints, lack of transportation, technology difficulties, and stigma.
Pro Bono Counseling was one of 23 organizations selected for awards.

Pro Bono Counseling (PBC), a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, was founded in 1991 to ensure that Marylanders with limited resources requesting mental health care are provided access to volunteer licensed mental health professionals and other necessary supportive services. Since then, PBC has helped match thousands of individuals and families throughout Maryland with the most appropriate counselors, based on their specific needs, and helped them obtain the mental health care they could not otherwise afford.
PBC’s vision is the availability of quality mental health care for all those in need. The organization serves anyone in Maryland who is facing difficulties paying for counseling – including individuals of all ages, as well as couples, and families– through connections to volunteer mental health therapists for free counseling to address mental health concerns, including stress, anxiety, sadness, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, or any other issue that can be addressed through therapy. PBC has a network of more than 900 volunteer licensed mental health counselors, covering a range of specialties, located all throughout Maryland. Counseling services are offered in person, and via video conferencing and telephone.
