Each pilot cycle takes place over the course of 2 weeks. You will host 2 groups virtual or in-person during a 2 week cycle. You can host both groups in one week or host one group per week for two weeks. You design your preferred schedule. 

All are welcome to join your groups whom you invite. In addition, each group must have a minimum of 3 participants who identify as low-income, receiving Medicaid,  a young adult (18–25), or a teen (13–17). You’ll receive a personal invite link to share with potential attendees for them to register directly.

Earn $10 per Participant + Tips

You’ll earn $10 for each participant who attends your group and completes the feedback survey. You’ll also keep 100% of any additional tips given by participants. At the end of your 2-week pilot cycle, you’ll receive an invite to redeem your total earnings. You’ll be able to choose whether you’d like a virtual Visa card sent to your email or a physical Visa card mailed to your address. 

You’ll host 2 in-person groups at a safe community-centered space that you choose.  On one hand, you are highly encouraged to use your creativity and consider venues other than a typical office space. On the other hand, if you have an office or classroom space available, use what’s within reach to make planning simpler.

This Pilot program is a community-based support group, and payments are processed directly through our platform. As such, groups are not billable to insurance. Care Ambassadors receive a stipend from us for facilitating the 1-hour group sessions. Licensed professionals are welcome to offer additional services outside of their 1-hour commitments with us, which they may independently bill to insurance or charge clients for, at their discretion unassociated with us.

Once our product is in market, group therapy led by licensed professionals will be eligible for insurance billing at that time.
