How Second Wind Fund Works
Youth serving professionals act as the primary entry point into SWF’s system, initiating referrals and often continuing to support youth throughout the treatment process. We couldn't do this important work without you! Questions? Email us at program@thesecondwindfund.org.
Submit a referral
A parent, guardian, or any other youth-serving professional may submit an online referral for a youth facing barriers to accessing care.
Get Approved
Once SWF receives a referral, we promptly connect the referral source with a list of local, specialized therapists for the youth to choose from.
