where to go to get help with mental health

-
If unsure where to go for help, talk to someone you trust who has experience in mental health—for example, a doctor, nurse, social worker, or religious counselor. Ask their advice on where to seek treatment. If there is a university nearby, its departments of psychiatry or psychology may offer private and/or sliding-scale fee clinic treatment options. Otherwise, check the Yellow Pages under mental health, health, social services, crisis intervention services, hotlines, hospitals,or physicians for phone numbers and addresses. In times of crisis, the emergency room doctor at a hospital may be able to provide temporary help for a mental health problem, and will be able to tell you where and how to get further help.
Listed below are the types of people and places that will make a referral to, or provide, diagnostic and treatment services.
  • Family doctors
  • Mental health specialists, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, or mental health counselors
  • Religious leaders/counselors
  • Health maintenance organizations
  • Community mental health centers
  • Hospital psychiatry departments and outpatient clinics
  • University- or medical school-affiliated programs
  • State hospital outpatient clinics
  • Social service agencies
  • Private clinics and facilities
  • Employee assistance programs

She was no relation to Scotty or his family but she was best friends with Scotty's 22 year old stepmother, Stephanie Baker. While Susanne was inside getting Scotty, Step

This post I wanted to make about my mum, who past away 16th June 2018, it was a hard time for us, she died of a stoke which was the last thing we was expecting her to die off, It left a big hole in my life when she died it was like a part of me died with her. Her name was Olive Kellaway, she was 78 when god called her home. I had so much anger because i did not have a father because my mum had split up from when i was only 2 so i have no memory of him, my step father sexual abused me, i did not know any of my grandparents so my mum is all i had.
