“The Hills” alum partnered with singer Hilary Roberts and The Red Songbird Foundation to launch the #GiveGriefAChance campaign.

“We’re looking to help at least 20 people with up to 12 therapy sessions at no cost, who are grieving during COVID-19,” Wahler, 33, said in a video posted to Roberts’ Instagram account.

The pair also asked that mental health professionals volunteer to provide free services. The foundation is also hoping to raise an additional $25,000 in funds to secure free therapy sessions for 20 more grieving individuals.

Families interested in the program can fill out a questionnaire online for a chance to be selected.

According to its website, The Red Songbird Foundation is a nonprofit organization that aims to help individuals dealing with addiction and trauma survival-related issues. In October of last year, the foundation announced Wahler as a co-chair and marketing director.

The reality star has struggled with his own substance abuse issues in the past.

In February, Wahler acknowledged having “another slip” in his sobriety.

“What keeps me going is the honesty, the transparency and being vulnerable,” he told E! News. “By expressing vulnerability, it creates humility and lets people know they are not alone when this stuff does happen.”
