Healing Shouldn’t Have a Price Tag: Making Mental Health Free and Accessible

Dear supporter

For trauma survivors—veterans, cancer survivors, abuse victims—help often feels out of reach. Between cost, stigma, and long waitlists, traditional therapy isn't always an option.

But what if it could be?

Worldwide, over 350 million people live with PTSD—yet more than 50% receive no treatment. Even in high-income countries like the U.S., over 150 million people live in mental health professional shortage areas (Source: NIMH, WHO).

This is not just a care gap—it’s a crisis. AI is uniquely positioned to close it. By leveraging natural language processing and behavioral data, our platform offers trauma-informed prompts and reflective feedback tailored to each user’s story.

AI is already proving itself in adjacent fields. Tools like Woebot and Wysa have shown success in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms for millions. Meanwhile, MDMA-assisted therapy—recently approved by the FDA for PTSD—is another example of combining science with empathy.

But we need more scalable, inclusive options. That’s where MyWhatIf comes in: personalized therapy at no cost, designed specifically for trauma survivors.

We’re not replacing therapists—we’re extending their reach. MyWhatIf acts as a 24/7 companion, offering micro-interventions between sessions, during waitlists, or where therapy isn’t accessible at all. Think of it as mental health infrastructure for the underserved. And it’s only possible with your help.

If you're passionate about trauma recovery, equity in care, or breakthrough innovation—this is your moment.

Invest in MyWhatIf today and help millions reclaim their narrative.
