Lesson Overview

32.9 – Getting Mental Health Help When You Can’t Afford It: Needing help but not being able to afford therapy feels like being stuck between hope and helplessness. You know you need someone to talk to, yet every call seems to end with a waiting list or cost too high to manage. It’s an unfair truth that mental health access often depends on money or insurance. But there are options—school counselors, crisis text lines, nonprofit clinics, and community centers can often connect you to free or sliding-scale care. Writing, breathing exercises, peer support groups, and trusted adults can help bridge the gap until more help becomes available. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s progress and survival. Even taking small steps to express how you feel is healing. You are not weak for needing help—you are human, and finding resources within reach is proof that you’re still fighting for yourself.
