Mental Health

Support Groups and Survivors Spaces

Peer-to-peer support may significantly help with a range of mental health issues, as well as provide empowerment and a sense of belonging. Support groups (either virtual or in-person) are usually self-run and involve people with similar experiences.

Community Mental Health (non-crisis intervention)

  • Mental healthcare, including the cost of insurance and copayments, can get expensive, especially if a person is ineligible for benefits. In that case, the following mental health support may be an appropriate option for services that are free or have reduced rates.

Training clinics

  • Some universities have clinics that offer various mental health services from graduate students training to become psychologists, counselors, or social workers. Since the students are not yet fully qualified, services are often offered at reduced rates or for free. One can research and contact local universities to see if a training clinic is nearby.

Other services with reduced costs

  • Another option to receive psychological services at reduced costs may be to meet with a trainee rather than a professional. Qualified staff often supervise those in training, so there is still a sufficient level of support from such organizations.
