Program Costs
Accessibility is important to us, so our programs are designed to be affordable. We work hard to keep our program fees low. We also offer discounted or free places to those who can’t afford to fund their place themselves.
Donations make our no-cost places possible. If you’re able to, please consider donating a program place to help an ambitious altruist increase their impact on the world’s most pressing problems.
-
The IFS & CBT Labs are each $550 for those who can afford it. This equates to $31 per session hour which is significantly lower than 1:1 therapy in many countries.
-
If you can't afford the full cost of the program, you can request a low or no-cost place in your application thanks to the generous support of our funders. This doesn't affect your chances of being accepted to a program. Instead of the program fee, we’ll ask you to submit a motivational deposit to participate in the program.
-
Our motivational deposit scheme helps maintain a strong group dynamic by ensuring everyone shares the same commitment to completing the program. We do this because our peer group format means that every individual’s participation impacts the success of the whole group. Motivational deposits are reimbursed following full completion of the program. If you do not qualify for reimbursement at the end of the program, the deposit will be donated to Rethink Wellbeing and dedicated to supporting future participants.
For these purposes, “full completion of the program” means:
Missing no more than one group session, or none if participating in the Minimum Guidance format
Completing all four Wellbeing Evaluation surveys (pre-program, Week 8, Week 12 & Week 16)
Completing all nine Weekly Evaluation surveys (Weeks 1-6, 8, 12 & 16)
Thank you to our donors and funders who make it possible for us to provide free program places for changemakers who otherwise couldn’t afford them.
