Counseling Assistance Fund

Welcome to the Counseling Assistance Fund

Welcome to The Counseling Assistance Fund Web Site. The Counseling Assistance Fund is designed to provide counseling or similar mental health services for persons who were sexually abused as minors by clergy or other representatives of the Catholic Church. This web site provides claims information and community resources.

The Counseling Assistance Fund is different from existing forms of assistance offered by Dioceses throughout Ohio, because it is directed toward those who are reluctant to contact the Church for help.

The fund is available to those who were sexually abused as minors by clergy or other representatives of the Catholic Church. A person who receives counseling through the Fund may obtain services from any mental health provider licensed in the person’s state of residence. Providers will be paid by the Fund.

Please contact us at the links provided if we can answer additional questions.
