Good Therapy Foundation's Therapy Award Contest will give every qualified applicant a chance to win six months of free therapy, a prize valued at up to $2,400. To enter, each applicant will be asked to share their reasons for seeking therapy by explaining any challenges which may have prevented them from obtaining therapy in the past, which issues they would like to address, and what their desired outcome would be.

The contest will begin on July 1, 2011 at 12:00 pm PDT and will run through July 31, 2011 at 5:00 pm PDT. All entries must be submitted through the GoodTherapy.org Blog.
