Pro Bono Work - How SVPA Members Donate Their Time: In May of 2013, SVPA polled its members to find out how they donated their time and talents to give back to the community. Thanks to all of our members who responded and who donate their time! About Our Pro Bono Services. Pro Bono counseling is free service available to adults who are unemployed, uninsured, under insured, or unable to afford traditional counseling services. This may include individuals and couples that are struggling with situations such as unemployment, life changes, depression, anxiety, grief or marital issues. Demand for pro bono services: In 2013 the U.S. Census Bureau Uninsured Rates in Milwaukee County were 15.6–19.3 percent. Milwaukee County has the highest underinsured and uninsured rates in the entire state of Wisconsin, as well as the most diverse population, making it a location that would greatly benefit from pro bono physical therapy.
