Hey Deborah

 

This is absolutely needed information for this site as well as any of our other health sites.  I am going to add this link and your others to my one post which I will update...about how to get mental health care wihen you don't have money or insurance.  The more links and information we have to give to folks the better. 

 

The one thing I do want to tell people is that...the process may not be always easy.  You may have to call repeatedly...you may not get all of your needs totally met...but it is a start and you have to at least try. 

 

I would love to hear from members who have actually gone through this process of getting help from such programs...and how it went.  This is the component we are missing...the true life experience of what this process entails.

 

Thank you, thank you for writing this Deborah...it is going to help a lot of people.
